Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Runcton questions
Is Runcton close to London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Runcton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How early should we book for Christmas?
December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.
What happens if it’s dark?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you come to Runcton?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Christmas parties in Runcton are almost always after dark: sunset is about 4:00pm in December. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.

Christmas fairs at a church such as The Parish Church of St Stephen can book a hog roast stall. Train travellers will want to know that the closest railway station is Chichester station, roughly 1.9 miles north-west of the centre. The coast is within about 4 miles of Runcton, and winter sea winds can be bitter.
Wherever your Christmas party is in PO20, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a Christmas party in a garden on Goodwood Gardens, Brookside and Lagness Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.

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 level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Parking near the cooking area
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn

What affects the price in Runcton
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
