Book a hog roast in Crockenhill
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
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.
About our Christmas hog roast in Crockenhill
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes on the side. There are options for people who don’t eat pork. For festive open evenings and festive family get-togethers, we can cook halloumi skewers, roast turkey and roast potatoes and more.
In a small place like Crockenhill, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
