Christmas hog roast in Ashington, carved to order
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Whether it is winter open days and club and society Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, apple sauce and roast turkey and more.
In winter near Ashington, we need firm ground and light. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. A lunchtime Christmas party in Ashington is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast turkey can be added.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Perfect for your Christmas party in Ashington
We serve and tidy, whatever the weather.
