About our Christmas hog roast in Denvilles
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. We are often asked to cater winter fairs and markets and office Christmas parties, with apple sauce, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In Denvilles, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In Denvilles, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.

- We confirm the space and send a price.

- Our chef carves and staff serve.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Denvilles
What’s the nearest station to Denvilles?
Denvilles has its own station: Warblington station.
Can you roast near the sea around Denvilles?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Hot food suits winter perfectly, as long as guests have shelter.
About the food
Roast turkey
Roast turkey gives a Christmas party a traditional touch, with the pork and crackling too.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
