How our Christmas hog roast works in Finberry
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Finberry. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for christmas fairs and late-night shopping events.
For a Christmas party near Finberry, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Send the allergen list round before the party
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Roast turkey can be added.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

FAQs for Finberry
Do you come out to small places like Finberry?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Ashford Green Corridors?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Hot food suits winter perfectly, as long as guests have shelter.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
