Christmas hog roast in Chichester, slow-roasted on site
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. On the menu are roast potatoes, hog roast rolls and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for year-end thank-yous and christmas lights switch-ons.
Christmas parties in Chichester are frequently at workplaces and clubs. The roaster needs a level, lit spot outside. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

What else we do in Chichester
Looking after everyone

- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- A short route for our equipment

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Chichester
How far is Chichester from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Chichester?
Chichester station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do December dates go quickly?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
There is no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- Travel to Chichester
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or PO19 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why book our hog roast in Chichester
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
