Christmas hog roast for Cudworth
A closer look at the menu

Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Christmas hog roast in Cudworth, slow-roasted on site
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Cudworth, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it is cold outside. We are often asked to cater society Christmas socials and christmas family parties, serving roast potatoes, roast turkey and halloumi skewers.
In winter near Cudworth, we need firm ground and light. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At a winter fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, it’s dark in Cudworth by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
