Christmas hog roast in Broughton
About our Christmas hog roast in Broughton
Christmas get-togethers can mean plenty of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We’re frequently asked to cater end-of-term celebrations and christmas fairs, with apple sauce, roast turkey and roast potatoes.
In winter near Broughton, we need firm ground and light. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Why choose Christmas hog roast in Broughton?

The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Sunset in Broughton in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

FAQs for Broughton
Is Broughton close to London?
About 69 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Broughton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens if it’s dark?
It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.

What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Roast turkey can be added.
