Book a hog roast in Faberstown
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Sunset in Faberstown in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.

Getting ready for the day

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A hog roast compared with other options
You can combine: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us

Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
