A hog roast near Egypt
Christmas hog roast in Egypt, carved to order
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. There are options for people who do not eat pork. We’re frequently asked to cater new Year parties and christmas markets, serving roast turkey, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Near Egypt, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Egypt
Is Egypt too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Egypt?
The closest is Micheldever station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is generally fine with the venue’s agreement.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.

Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.

For event organisers in Egypt
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
