Christmas hog roast in Emberton, carved to order
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. For christmas fairs and end-of-term celebrations, we will put together a menu of roast potatoes, apple sauce and roast turkey and more.
In a small place like Emberton, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Emberton: your questions answered
Is Emberton close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Emberton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is generally fine with the venue’s agreement.
Do you need lighting?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. With sunset at about 3:50pm in December, most Christmas parties in Emberton are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
