How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A lunchtime Christmas party in Coldwaltham is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

About our Christmas hog roast in Coldwaltham

Near Coldwaltham, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

A hog roast or other catering?
Mix and match: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Served at the time you choose

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
Name someone to meet us, especially for an office party.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
