How our Christmas hog roast works in Charlton
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Charlton. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and festive family get-togethers.
In Charlton, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.

- We confirm the space and send a price.
