Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Durrington
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We will need light around the serving area. We are often asked to cater staff Christmas do’s and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, serving halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls.
In Durrington, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.

Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Plan a warm place for guests.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
