Christmas hog roast in Eastergate
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Eastergate
For a work Christmas party in Eastergate, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. Popular choices include roast turkey, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater club and society Christmas parties and lights switch-on evenings.
For a Christmas party near Eastergate, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Perfect for your Christmas party in Eastergate
Turkey and pork together cover everyone.
These are some of the most popular hog roast bookings near Eastergate:
- December open days
- Office Christmas parties
- Society Christmas socials

About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Label alternatives clearly
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We pack up whatever the weather.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.

Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
