Christmas hog roast in Cousley Wood, carved to order

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. A lunchtime Christmas party in Cousley Wood is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
You can combine: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
