A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Common questions in Udimore
Can you roast near the sea around Udimore?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Udimore close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
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.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. A lunchtime Christmas party in Udimore is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
