Slow-roasted pork in Charing Hill
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Charing Hill
Christmas get-togethers can mean plenty of people, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. For end-of-year team celebrations and winter open days, we will put together a menu of crackling, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Charing Hill, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Sunset in Charing Hill in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
