Christmas hog roast in Slindon Common
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Slindon Common
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. On the menu are halloumi skewers, roast turkey and apple sauce, and we are frequently booked for family Christmas gatherings and festive open evenings.
For a Christmas party near Slindon Common, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a winter barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Planned to your running order
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
When you contact us, please mention:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your menu choices
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Slindon Common: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Slindon Common too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Do you cover Slindon Common?
Yes, Slindon Common is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Light by the serving table
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
