About our Christmas hog roast in Sandhurst
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so ask early. Whether it’s festive family get-togethers and christmas lights switch-ons, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, rotisserie chicken and roast turkey.
For a Christmas party near Sandhurst, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
For event organisers in Sandhurst
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Sandhurst, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. 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.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- An itemised quote

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count who does not eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
Why choose Christmas hog roast in Sandhurst?
Our staff serve and clear, even on a wet, dark night.
Whatever the occasion in Sandhurst, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We are often asked to cater:
- Family Christmas gatherings
- Winter open days
- End-of-term celebrations
- Boxing Day and New Year gatherings
A winter fair at a school like Sandhurst Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Sandhurst
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Sandhurst?
Robertsbridge station, about 4.9 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
