Christmas hog roast in Berwick, carved to order
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We will need light around the serving area. Whether it is late-night shopping events and staff Christmas do’s, we can cook halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes and more.
Near Berwick, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Festive bookings around Berwick

Compared with a barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
