Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Sunset in Clatterford in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Vehicle access close by
Clatterford is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
