Slow-roasted pork in Plumpton Green
The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In December, it is dark in Plumpton Green by 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.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

How our Christmas hog roast works in Plumpton Green
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. Popular choices include roast turkey, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for winter open days and festive family get-togethers.
In a small place like Plumpton Green, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

For event organisers in Plumpton Green
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
