How our Christmas hog roast works in Eastbury
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. We serve apple sauce, crackling and roast potatoes, and we’re often booked for christmas markets and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
Near Eastbury, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In December, it’s dark in Eastbury by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Eastbury
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Eastbury?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Cooking is always outdoors; serving can be indoors.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
