Christmas hog roast for Crosswater
Christmas hog roast in Crosswater, carved to order
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Crosswater suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. Whether it is work Christmas parties and end-of-term celebrations, we can cook apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Crosswater, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Label alternatives clearly
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Timed around your day
- Carved to order by a chef

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- The serving time and how long we are on site

- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
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.

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-December sunset in Crosswater comes at about 4:00pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
