About our Christmas hog roast in Watersfield
Christmas get-togethers can mean plenty of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We serve roast turkey, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for winter open days and year-end thank-yous.
Near Watersfield, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Watersfield questions
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Watersfield from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you need lighting?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
Do guests have to eat outside?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.

Other occasions in Watersfield
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Label alternatives clearly
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast turkey can be added.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, it is dark in Watersfield by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Why choose a hog roast in Watersfield?
Compared with a barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- No surprises: everything in writing
