How our Christmas hog roast works in Finstock
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Finstock suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. We are frequently asked to cater christmas fairs and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, serving roast potatoes, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Finstock, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Roast turkey can be added.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
