How our Christmas hog roast works in Crow
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Crow. Popular choices include crackling, roast potatoes and roast turkey, and we’re frequently booked for family Christmas gatherings and year-end thank-yous.
In a small place like Crow, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. By about 4:05pm in late December, Crow is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Crow
Is Crow too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What happens if it’s dark?
It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do guests have to eat outside?
We cook outside, but can normally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

The price comes down to:
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china

Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
Details that help
