Christmas hog roast in Rottingdean, carved to order
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Rottingdean. We serve roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater work Christmas parties and christmas lights switch-ons.
In a small place like Rottingdean, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Rottingdean: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like Rottingdean?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How early should we book for Christmas?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
The menu, dish by dish

Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
