Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Charter Alley
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Charter Alley. Typical bookings include society Christmas socials and office Christmas parties, with roast potatoes, roast turkey and crackling.
In a small place like Charter Alley, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Sunset in Charter Alley 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.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each price is built from:
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Roast turkey
Turkey and pork together cover traditionalists and crackling fans alike.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
