A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. By about 3:55pm in late December, Dormans Park is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.

- We serve pork, turkey and sides.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Who books Christmas hog roast in Dormans Park?
Turkey and pork together cover everyone.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At a winter fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
