Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Burkham
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. We are often asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and lights switch-on evenings, serving hog roast rolls, roast turkey and crackling.
In winter near Burkham, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
