Christmas hog roast in Lower Green
Lower Green questions
What’s the nearest station to Lower Green?
Liss station, about 2.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you cater at venues 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.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Where does the hog roast go?
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’ll confirm the space with your quote.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Christmas hog roast in Lower Green, carved to order
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Lower Green. Typical bookings include christmas markets and end-of-year team celebrations, with roast potatoes, apple sauce and roast turkey.
Near Lower Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count who does not eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Share the allergen information in advance
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Roast turkey can be added.
For event organisers in Lower Green
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Sunset in Lower Green in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
