Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Dunsbury
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. There are options for people who don’t eat pork. Typical bookings include boxing Day and New Year gatherings and office Christmas parties, with hog roast rolls, crackling and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Dunsbury, 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 before you book.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Light by the serving table
Dunsbury is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What happens on the day

- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.

Before we arrive

Dunsbury questions
Is Dunsbury 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.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Give us a contact for the evening, especially for an office party.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Roast turkey
Offer turkey and pork, and everyone’s happy.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
