Perfect for your Christmas party in Southwick
Hot food on a cold night is always welcome.
Here’s what people in Southwick most often book a hog roast for:
- Society Christmas socials
- End-of-year team celebrations
- Lights switch-on evenings

- Who carves and who serves
- VAT, if it applies
- The space, cover and access they need
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Southwick, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Christmas catering near Southwick
Southwick is about 2 miles east of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. We cater Christmas parties across Southwick and nearby. Southwick is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover.
Southwick is on or near the A259 and A270, so we can reach it easily in winter. For anyone getting the train home after the party, Southwick has its own station, Southwick station. Southwick is within about 8 miles of the South Downs National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. The coast is within about 2 miles of Southwick, and winter sea winds can be bitter.
We bring hog roasts to Christmas parties all over BN42, BN41 and BN43. Streets in the area include Station Road, Roman Crescent and Southwick Street, and a Christmas party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. With the A259 and A270 close by, Southwick is simple for us to get to with the roaster.

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
