Slow-roasted pork in Lindfield
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Lindfield

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Label alternatives clearly
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
What affects the price in Lindfield
The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Lindfield questions
Could you cook in Eastern Road Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
