Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
About our Christmas hog roast in Mile Oak
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. For christmas markets and festive open evenings, we can cook roast potatoes, crackling and hog roast rolls and more.
For a Christmas party near Mile Oak, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Common questions in Mile Oak
Can you do a hog roast in Foal Hurst Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Mile Oak are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
Ask for a quote
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
