How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In Alscot, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP

- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a winter barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
