Yapton: your questions answered
How far is Yapton from London?
About 52 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Yapton?
The closest is Barnham station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Sunset in Yapton in late December is 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
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Send final numbers in good time

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
The price comes down to:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- The number of people
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
