How our Christmas hog roast works in Bladon
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. Typical bookings include late-night shopping events and christmas fairs, with roast potatoes, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
Near Bladon, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Mix and match: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
