About our Christmas hog roast in Clanville
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We’re frequently asked to cater festive family get-togethers and end-of-term celebrations, with hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Clanville, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Indoor space for eating
- A short route for our equipment
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By about 4:00pm in late December, Clanville is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your guests

Clanville questions
Is Clanville close to London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Clanville too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is lighting needed?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we’ll sort lighting together.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Why choose a hog roast in Clanville?
Next to a winter barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
