Christmas hog roast in Farnborough, slow-roasted on site
Swap the set menu for a hog roast at your Christmas party in Farnborough: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. We’re often asked to cater winter fairs and markets and new Year parties, with crackling, roast turkey and roast potatoes.
For a festive get-together in Farnborough, hot pork and turkey make a change from the usual. Keep the cooking spot close and well lit. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Farnborough in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.

- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
How to prepare

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. 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.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count who does not eat pork
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
