Christmas hog roast in Pett, carved to order
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. On the menu are apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and end-of-year team celebrations.
In a small place like Pett, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label alternatives clearly
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Send the allergen list round before the party
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Pett
Which station is closest to Pett?
Three Oaks station, about 2.5 miles west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Pett?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes: add turkey to the menu.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Plan a warm place for guests.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you cover Pett?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Pett and the rest of East Sussex included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. By about 3:55pm in late December, Pett is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- No surprises: everything in writing
