Planning an event in Beech?
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Christmas hog roast in Beech, slow-roasted on site
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Beech, a hog roast draws a queue: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. Whether it’s office Christmas parties and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and crackling and more.
In winter near Beech, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
