A hog roast near Farleigh
Christmas hog roast in Farleigh, slow-roasted on site
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. We’re frequently asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and winter fairs and markets, with roast potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Near Farleigh, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
You can combine: turkey and pork together. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A short route for our equipment
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Light by the serving table

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. Sunset in Farleigh in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
