DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Coombe
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We’ll need light around the serving area. For sports club Christmas do’s and christmas markets, we can cook hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes and more.
For a Christmas party near Coombe, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Do you come out to small places like Coombe?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

Do you do Christmas fairs?

Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
