About our Christmas hog roast in Beckley
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. Typical bookings include between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and lights switch-on evenings, with roast turkey, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
For a Christmas party near Beckley, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late-December sunset in Beckley comes at about 3:55pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Beckley
What’s the nearest station to Beckley?
The closest is Islip station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Beckley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you need lighting?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
