Allergies and dietary needs

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:

  • Send the allergen list round before the party
  • Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
  • Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
  • Request gluten-free rolls

We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.

Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.

Should I cook it myself?

Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Before you choose a spot

Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:

  • Vehicle access close by
  • Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
  • Light by the serving table

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Popular choices

  • Vegan option (Ve)
  • Roast turkey
  • Halloumi skewers (V)
  • Salads
  • Stuffing and apple sauce
  • Hog roast rolls
  • Rotisserie chicken
  • Crackling

A hog roast or other catering?

Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

Why Flimwell hosts choose us

  • Our staff serve and clear
  • A clear quote with everything listed
  • Cooked on the day, low and slow
  • All the equipment comes with us

Read our prices page and the cost guide.

How the day works

A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. A lunchtime Christmas party in Flimwell is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

  1. Book early for December.
  2. We check your venue and send a quote.
  3. We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
  4. We serve pork, turkey and sides.
  5. We clear the serving area and go.

Preparing for the day

  • Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
  • Send final numbers in good time
  • Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Getting a price

It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
