About our Christmas hog roast in Church End
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. On the menu are halloumi skewers, apple sauce and roast potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater boxing Day and New Year gatherings and december open days.
In a small place like Church End, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Church End is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Church End to Reading (about 10 miles away).

Church End: your questions answered
Is Church End close to London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Church End too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.

The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
Who serves?
