Christmas hog roast for Binscombe
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Christmas hog roast in Binscombe, carved to order
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and crackling, and typical bookings are for office Christmas parties and year-end thank-yous.
For a Christmas party near Binscombe, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Parking near the cooking area
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
