Christmas hog roast in Warninglid
How our Christmas hog roast works in Warninglid
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. We are often asked to cater christmas lights switch-ons and year-end thank-yous, serving rotisserie chicken, roast turkey and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Warninglid, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Common questions in Warninglid
Is Warninglid too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Warninglid?
Balcombe station, about 3.6 miles north-east of the centre.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Things that change the price:
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Light by the serving table
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-December sunset in Warninglid comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
