The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A lunchtime Christmas party in Fair Oak is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

- Parking near the cooking area
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. 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.
