Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
About our Christmas hog roast in Crofton
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Crofton. Whether it’s year-end thank-yous and christmas fairs, we can cook roast turkey, apple sauce and crackling for your guests.
In winter near Crofton, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
For event organisers in Crofton
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning a Christmas party in Crofton

If a church like Peel Common Mission Church is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening.
