A hog roast near Cold Harbour
How our Christmas hog roast works in Cold Harbour
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. Typical bookings include sports club Christmas do’s and end-of-year team celebrations, serving halloumi skewers, roast turkey and hog roast rolls.
For a Christmas party near Cold Harbour, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Sunset in Cold Harbour in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
How to get a price
