DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Christmas hog roast in Cosham, slow-roasted on site
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Cosham. For sports club Christmas do’s and lights switch-on evenings, we can cook halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls for your guests.
At a festive party in Cosham, a hog roast in the garden goes down well. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, it is dark in Cosham by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
