Christmas hog roast in The Pound, slow-roasted on site
Swap the set menu for a hog roast at your Christmas party in The Pound: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. On the menu are hog roast rolls, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for christmas fairs and office Christmas parties.
Near The Pound, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in The Pound
Which station is closest to The Pound?
The closest is Battle station, roughly 4.5 miles away.
Is The Pound too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Planning help
Planning a Christmas party in The Pound
The Pound is about 5 miles north-west of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex. We cover The Pound and its neighbours for Christmas parties. We bring hog roasts to 289 places in East Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 23 miles away.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Parish Church of St Peter draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. The Pound is within about 7 miles of the High Weald National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
We bring hog roasts to Christmas parties all over the TN33 postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Church Road and Linghams Lane; a Christmas party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Neighbouring places where we cater Christmas parties include Ashburnham (1 mile north), Brownbread Street (1 mile north-west), Bodle Street Green (2 miles west), Wood's Corner (3 miles north) and Trolliloes (3 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Eastbourne (9 miles south-west), Hastings (8 miles east), Bexhill-on-Sea (5 miles south-east), Seaford (15 miles south-west), Hailsham (7 miles south-west) and Crowborough (14 miles north-west).
Other landmarks nearby include Bexhill Hospital (5.2 miles south-east) and Herstmonceux Castle (3.3 miles south-west). Within reach you’ll find Senlac Hill.
- Nearby, you will find The Ash Tree Inn (0.5 miles north-west)
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A short route for our equipment
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
We pack up whatever the weather.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your date and serving time
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
