The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Sunset in Britwell in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day

Planning for dietary needs

- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We pack up whatever the weather.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Britwell hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- All the equipment comes with us

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A lit route to the food
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Britwell
Can you do a hog roast in Cocksherd Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Britwell?
Burnham station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
