Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, it’s dark in Washington by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Common questions in Washington
Is Washington too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you cover Washington?
Yes, Washington is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Send us the details.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Indoor space for eating
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
