How our Christmas hog roast works in Fleet
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. We are frequently asked to cater year-end thank-yous and work Christmas parties, with roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
In a town like Fleet, a Christmas party might be at the office, a club or home. We need a lit outdoor spot. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Served at the time you choose

The menu, dish by dish
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved at the serving station.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Fleet, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Common questions in Fleet
Which station is closest to Fleet?
Fleet station, about 1.2 miles north of the centre.
Could you cook in Oakley Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is lighting needed?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we will sort lighting together.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
