Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Apuldram
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We’re frequently asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and family Christmas gatherings, serving roast turkey, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
Near Apuldram, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

For event organisers in Apuldram
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
China crockery is available on request.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Parking near the cooking area
- Indoor space for eating

The process

- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- 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.
