About our Christmas hog roast in Alvescot
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. For lights switch-on evenings and society Christmas socials, we can cook roast turkey, apple sauce and roast potatoes.
For a Christmas party near Alvescot, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Add dietary questions to the invite
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
