Christmas hog roast in Fenn Street, carved to order
Festive events of all kinds around Fenn Street suit a hog roast, from small teams to big crowds. Typical bookings include boxing Day and New Year gatherings and work Christmas parties, serving roast turkey, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
In a small place like Fenn Street, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.

What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. With sunset at about 3:50pm in December, most Christmas parties in Fenn Street are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
