Will there be enough to go round?

Serving inside is usually fine with the venue’s agreement.

When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Christmas Common, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day

Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

A hog roast or other catering?
At a winter fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls

- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
