Christmas hog roast in Ticehurst, slow-roasted on site

At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Ticehurst, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it is cold outside. We serve hog roast rolls, roast turkey and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for club and society Christmas parties and family Christmas gatherings.

Near Ticehurst, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:

  • Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
  • Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
  • Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
  • Label alternatives clearly

We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.

Roast turkey can be added.

Should I cook it myself?

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

For planners, venues and organisers

Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.

Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

What the cooking area needs

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:

  • Parking near the cooking area
  • Hardstanding if possible in winter
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

A hog roast compared with other options

Next to a restaurant booking, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What you get with us

  • Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
  • Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
  • Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
  • Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Ticehurst questions

How far is Ticehurst from London?

About 38 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Do you provide china?

We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

What do you need from us on the day?

The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.

How long does the roast need?

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.

What’s included?

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.

Can you roast in the rain?

The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?

Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.

What we serve, dish by dish

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.

Who books Christmas hog roast in Ticehurst?

Turkey and pork together cover everyone.

Whatever the occasion in Ticehurst, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We are frequently asked to cater:

  • Family Christmas gatherings
  • Club and society Christmas parties
  • Office Christmas parties
  • End-of-year team celebrations

A winter fair at a school like Ticehurst and Flimwell Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.
