About our Christmas hog roast in Farncombe
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so contact us as soon as you know your date. For staff Christmas do’s and christmas lights switch-ons, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, roast turkey and halloumi skewers.
Around Farncombe, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

- Label alternatives clearly

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.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access close by
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
