Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

What your quote should include
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
- VAT, if it applies
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Count who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We pack up whatever the weather.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Marehill
How far is Marehill from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Light by the serving table
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Indoor space for eating
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
