How our Christmas hog roast works in Collier Row
For a work Christmas party in Collier Row, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and apple sauce, and we’re frequently booked for sports club Christmas do’s and christmas lights switch-ons.
In Collier Row, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
