Book a hog roast in Bix
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
About our Christmas hog roast in Bix
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. We serve halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater office Christmas parties and christmas fairs.
For a Christmas party near Bix, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Bix questions
Do you come out to small places like Bix?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Bix from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Do you cover Bix?

Is it too cold for a hog roast?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Plan a warm place for guests.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
