Christmas hog roast in Sullington, carved to order
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. We serve roast turkey, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas markets and office Christmas parties.
In a small place like Sullington, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a winter barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Roast turkey
Roast turkey gives a Christmas party a traditional touch, with the pork and crackling too.
FAQs for Sullington
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Sullington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is lighting needed?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
What about Christmas markets?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, it is dark in Sullington by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys 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 that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What affects the price in Sullington
The price comes down to:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
