How our Christmas hog roast works in Boxford
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Boxford, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it is cold outside. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and we’re often booked for festive open evenings and christmas markets.
In winter near Boxford, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In Boxford, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved to order by a chef
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
