Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- Time on site
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
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.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

- Salads
- Roast turkey
- Stuffing and apple sauce

Skippers Hill: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Skippers Hill?
Crowborough station, about 3.1 miles north-west of the centre.
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can the food be served indoors?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do December dates go quickly?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count who does not eat pork
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
Skippers Hill in December: what to know
Skippers Hill is about 4 miles south-east of Crowborough, in East Sussex. We take a hog roast for your Christmas party to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Skippers Hill and the surrounding area. We cater 289 places across East Sussex. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 19 miles away.
If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Skippers Hill Manor School, hot rolls go down well. If a church like Church of the Good Shepherd is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening.

How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Skippers Hill are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

A hog roast compared with other options
