Book a hog roast in Bashley
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Christmas hog roast in Bashley, carved to order
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. The roaster cooks outside under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Bashley. Whether it’s december open days and year-end thank-yous, we will put together a menu of roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In a small place like Bashley, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A lit route to the food
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled

- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
- 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
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
