Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Easton
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. We’re frequently asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and work Christmas parties, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
Near Easton, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- How long the roast and service take

- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers

FAQs for Easton
Is Easton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What happens if it is dark?
It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is normally fine with the venue’s agreement.
Do you cover Easton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Easton and West Berkshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Label alternatives clearly
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Give us a contact for the evening.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Parking near the cooking area
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Clearance from walls and tents
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What else we do in Easton
Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Full catering or machine hire? 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
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late-December sunset in Easton comes at about 4:00pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
