How our Christmas hog roast works in Brook
Festive events of all kinds around Brook suit a hog roast, from small teams to big crowds. We’re often asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and end-of-year team celebrations, with hog roast rolls, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
For a Christmas party near Brook, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours.

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Brook, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
