Slow-roasted pork in Plumpton
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Plumpton
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. Typical bookings include festive family get-togethers and december open days, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Plumpton, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Planning a Christmas party in Plumpton
Plumpton is about 4 miles north-west of Lewes, in East Sussex. Planning a hog roast for your Christmas party in Plumpton? We cover the whole area. Plumpton is one of 289 places in East Sussex we cover. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 6 miles away.
If a church like The Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. The South Downs National Park is within about 3 miles of Plumpton, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
We bring hog roasts to Christmas parties all over BN7 and the streets around it. From Plumpton Lane and Ditchling Road or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. Nearby, we also cater Christmas parties in East Chiltington (1 mile north-east), Streat (1 mile north-west), Chiltington (2 miles north-east), Plumpton Green (2 miles north) and Cooksbridge (2 miles east). We also serve nearby towns such as Seaford (12 miles south-east), Lewes (4 miles south-east), Hailsham (14 miles east), Crowborough (14 miles north-east), Uckfield (8 miles north-east) and Newhaven (9 miles south-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Lewes Victoria Hospital (3.4 miles south-east) and Clayton Castle (3.7 miles west). The countryside around Plumpton includes Malling Down and Blackcap.
- Pubs nearby include The Half Moon Inn (under half a mile south)
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Other occasions in Plumpton
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Sunset in Plumpton in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or BN7 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A short route for our equipment
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What we serve
- Crackling

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and time of the event
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
