About our Christmas hog roast in Fairwarp
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We serve apple sauce, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and work Christmas parties.
For a Christmas party near Fairwarp, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
