About our Christmas hog roast in East Challow

Questions from East Challow
Is East Challow too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do December dates go quickly?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
Can you cater in East Challow?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Occasions we serve in East Challow
Offer roast turkey as well as the hog.
A hog roast suits a wide range of occasions. Typical bookings include:
- December open days
- Festive family get-togethers

- End-of-year team celebrations
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like St Nicholas CofE Primary School, hot rolls go down well.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
We pack up whatever the weather.
Roast turkey can be added.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In December, it is dark in East Challow by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: send us your details through our quote form.
