Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
Roast turkey can be added.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. With sunset at about 4:00pm in December, most Christmas parties in Langrish are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Langrish
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Langrish close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How early should we book for Christmas?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
