Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast turkey
Roast turkey gives a Christmas party a traditional touch, with the pork and crackling too.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.

- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
