Christmas hog roast in Braywoodside
About our Christmas hog roast in Braywoodside
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We’ll need light around the serving area. We serve roast turkey, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and typical bookings are for new Year parties and christmas family parties.
In winter near Braywoodside, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
A hog roast or other catering?
At a winter fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- All the equipment comes with us

- Indoor space for eating
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
