Christmas hog roast for Baldslow
Christmas hog roast in Baldslow, slow-roasted on site
For a work Christmas party in Baldslow, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. Popular choices include roast potatoes, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and christmas markets.
Near Baldslow, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Christmas parties in Baldslow are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. The cooking area is lit; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or TN37 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
