What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A lunchtime Christmas party in Beckley is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Perfect for your Christmas party in Beckley
Offer roast turkey as well as the hog.
Here’s what people in Beckley most often book a hog roast for:
- Office Christmas parties
- New Year parties
- Sports club Christmas do’s

For event organisers in Beckley
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Other occasions in Beckley
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?

Can you be flexible on serving time?

Will there be enough to go round?
