Christmas hog roast in Cock Marling
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Cock Marling
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. For christmas fairs and christmas lights switch-ons, we can cook hog roast rolls, crackling and roast turkey for your guests.
In a small place like Cock Marling, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. 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.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved to order by a chef
See our pricing and the cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A short route for our equipment
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Clearance from walls and tents

The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. By about 3:55pm in late December, Cock Marling is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
