How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Plummers Plain, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your guests

- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A short route for our equipment
- Clearance from walls and tents
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Planning a Christmas party in Plummers Plain
Plummers Plain is about 4 miles east of Horsham, in West Sussex. We cover Plummers Plain and its neighbours for Christmas parties. Plummers Plain is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Plummers Plain to Brighton (15 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Newells Preparatory School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. If a church like St Mary's Church is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening.

Your Christmas party could be at a house on Handford Way, Handcross Road and Hammerpond Road, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Which station is closest to Plummers Plain?
The closest is Faygate station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Plummers Plain?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Can you cater in Plummers Plain?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Plummers Plain and West Sussex. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
