DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Christmas hog roast in Farlington, slow-roasted on site
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Farlington. For winter open days and end-of-term celebrations, we can cook roast potatoes, apple sauce and crackling for your guests.
Around Farlington, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

For event organisers in Farlington
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Is it too cold for a hog roast?

Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.

Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What we serve, dish by dish

We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.

Why choose a hog roast in Farlington?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot food wins in winter. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
