Christmas hog roast in Flexford, carved to order
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. There are options for people who do not eat pork. We serve rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and crackling, and typical bookings are for office Christmas parties and club and society Christmas parties.
Near Flexford, country lanes are dark in winter, 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.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A lit route to the food
- A short route for our equipment
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. By about 3:55pm in late December, Flexford is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count who does not eat pork
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
