Christmas hog roast in Bradley
Christmas hog roast in Bradley, slow-roasted on site
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. Typical bookings include christmas fairs and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, serving crackling, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls.
For a Christmas party near Bradley, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Bradley questions
How far is Bradley from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Is Bradley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is typically fine with the venue’s agreement.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your Christmas party. Sunset in Bradley in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Think about shelter for your guests

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
