How our Christmas hog roast works in Badshot Lea
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Badshot Lea suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. We’re often asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and staff Christmas do’s, with halloumi skewers, roast turkey and hog roast rolls.
Near Badshot Lea, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
For event organisers in Badshot Lea
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
