Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Ellen's Green
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Ellen's Green. Whether it is winter open days and family Christmas gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of roast turkey, crackling and halloumi skewers and more.
Near Ellen's Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers

- Add dietary questions to the invite
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
