How our Christmas hog roast works in Seven Dials
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Popular choices include apple sauce, roast turkey and roast potatoes, and we are often booked for society Christmas socials and festive family get-togethers.
Around Seven Dials, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

FAQs for Seven Dials
Can you roast near the sea around Seven Dials?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. By about 3:55pm in late December, Seven Dials is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day

- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.

Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
