Bosham station, about 2.9 miles north of the centre.
Is West Itchenor close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do guests have to eat outside?
We cook outside, but can normally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Weekdays often have more availability.
What happens if it’s dark?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we will sort lighting together.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How our Christmas hog roast works in West Itchenor
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. Popular choices include crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for festive family get-togethers and end-of-year team celebrations.
Near West Itchenor, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us

- Anything the venue has asked for
