Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Broadfield
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. We serve roast potatoes, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for christmas markets and christmas family parties.
In Broadfield, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What you get with us
- Timed around your day
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Sides to make it a full meal

The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A lunchtime Christmas party in Broadfield is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
