How our Christmas hog roast works in Doleham
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. Typical bookings include christmas fairs and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, with hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and apple sauce.
In a small place like Doleham, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count who does not eat pork
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Roast turkey can be added.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. By about 3:55pm in late December, Doleham is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- Tell us when and where the party is.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
At a winter fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Doleham hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved to order by a chef
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Doleham
Do you come out to small places like Doleham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Doleham?
Doleham has its own station: Doleham station.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do December dates go quickly?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
