How our Christmas hog roast works in Barnsole
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We’re frequently asked to cater office Christmas parties and christmas fairs, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Near Barnsole, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Late-December sunset in Barnsole comes at about 3:50pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

The menu, dish by dish
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.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each price is built from:
- Travel to Barnsole
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- Time on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
If you are comparing hog roast caterers for Barnsole, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
