What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Crossbush
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We’ll need light around the serving area. Whether it is end-of-term celebrations and lights switch-on evenings, we can cook crackling, roast turkey and hog roast rolls and more.
In winter near Crossbush, we need firm ground and light. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Working with your venue

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
What affects the price in Crossbush
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.

Is Crossbush too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Do you cover Crossbush?

Can you cater outdoors in December?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.

We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your Christmas party. In December, it’s dark in Crossbush by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
