How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In December, it is dark in Curdridge by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
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.

About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
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.
Common questions in Curdridge
Is Curdridge too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast near the sea around Curdridge?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do December dates go quickly?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
