Full catering or machine hire?
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your Christmas party. Sunset in Ashendon in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
