Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In December, it is dark in Lullington by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Lullington
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.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Parking near the cooking area
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

About the food

Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.

Why choose a hog roast in Lullington?
