Christmas hog roast in East Cholderton
Christmas hog roast in East Cholderton, slow-roasted on site

In a small place like East Cholderton, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we will plan it with you.
China crockery is available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. A lunchtime Christmas party in East Cholderton is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
