What else we do in Wivelsfield Green
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-December sunset in Wivelsfield Green comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
