A hog roast near Flishinghurst
Christmas hog roast in Flishinghurst, slow-roasted on site
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. On the menu are crackling, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for christmas fairs and club and society Christmas parties.
For a Christmas party near Flishinghurst, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

- Sports club Christmas do’s
