Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Label alternatives clearly
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Clearance from walls and tents
- A short route for our equipment
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. By about 3:55pm in late December, Coggins Mill is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.

We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
