DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
About our Christmas hog roast in Bedhampton
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 end-of-term celebrations and festive open evenings, serving halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In Bedhampton, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A lit route to the food
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Sunset in Bedhampton in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
