Christmas hog roast in Begbroke, slow-roasted on site
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. For festive open evenings and festive family get-togethers, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Begbroke, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours.

Begbroke: your questions answered
Is Begbroke too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Begbroke?
Oxford Parkway station, about 2.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
Can you cater in Begbroke?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Begbroke and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Begbroke are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.

- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
