About our Christmas hog roast in Shipton Green
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. For staff Christmas do’s and christmas lights switch-ons, we can cook crackling, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
Near Shipton Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Shipton Green in December: what to know
Shipton Green is about 5 miles south-west of Chichester, in West Sussex. We bring a hog roast for your Christmas party to Christmas parties anywhere in Shipton Green, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Shipton Green is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Shipton Green to Southampton (25 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Birdham CE Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. A Christmas fair at St Nicholas' Church is just the kind of event a hog roast suits. With the sea within about 6 miles, December breezes can be cold.
Anywhere in PO20, we can bring the roaster to you. Whether your Christmas party is on Shipton Green Lane and Itchenor Road or anywhere nearby, we can set up and roast there. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Somerley (1 mile south-east), Birdham (1 mile east), Almodington (2 miles south-east), Earnley (2 miles south) and East Wittering (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Bognor Regis (7 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-east), Selsey (5 miles south-east), Littlehampton (14 miles east), Emsworth (5 miles north-west) and Rustington (15 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Chichester Castle (4.9 miles north-east) and St Richard's Hospital (5.2 miles north-east). Open spaces near Shipton Green include Pilsey Island.
A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Why choose a hog roast in Shipton Green?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
