Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Pyecombe
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Pyecombe suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it is cold outside. Typical bookings include christmas lights switch-ons and year-end thank-yous, with hog roast rolls, apple sauce and roast turkey.
In a small place like Pyecombe, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Pyecombe

Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Pyecombe close to London?
About 42 miles from central London.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Is turkey available?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, as well as the hog.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
