Alderholt questions
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens if it’s dark?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is turkey available?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.
Christmas hog roast in Alderholt, slow-roasted on site
For a work Christmas party in Alderholt, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. Popular choices include roast potatoes, apple sauce and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for new Year parties and winter open days.
At a festive party in Alderholt, a hog roast in the garden goes down well on a dark December evening. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. In December, it’s dark in Alderholt by about 4:05pm, 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 is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
China crockery is available on request.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. 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.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- All the equipment comes with us
