Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Nuthurst
For a work Christmas party in Nuthurst, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. Typical bookings include new Year parties and end-of-term celebrations, serving hog roast rolls, roast turkey and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Nuthurst, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Nuthurst in December: what to know
Nuthurst is about 3 miles south of Horsham, in West Sussex. We cater Christmas parties across Nuthurst and nearby, from gardens to fields. Nuthurst is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Nuthurst to Brighton (about 15 miles away).
If people are coming by rail, the nearest station is Horsham station, about 3.1 miles north. A winter fair at a school like St Andrew's CofE Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.
We bring hog roasts to Christmas parties all over RH13. We also bring hog roasts to Christmas parties in Maplehurst (1 mile south), Southwater (2 miles west), Tower Hill (3 miles north-west), Horsham (3 miles north) and Brooks Green (4 miles west). Larger places within reach include Crawley (8 miles north-east), Worthing (14 miles south), Haywards Heath (9 miles east), Burgess Hill (9 miles south-east), East Grinstead (15 miles north-east) and Shoreham-by-Sea (13 miles south).
A little further out are Christs Hospital School Museum (3.1 miles north-west) and Horsham Hospital (3.4 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Knepp Wildland.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.

- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count who does not eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
There’s no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Travel to Nuthurst
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
