Christmas hog roast in Staplefield, carved to order
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. On the menu are apple sauce, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater winter fairs and markets and new Year parties.
For a Christmas party near Staplefield, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

- Vehicle access close by

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
