About our Christmas hog roast in Foreland Fields
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Foreland Fields. For christmas markets and winter open days, we can cook roast turkey, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
In winter near Foreland Fields, we need firm ground and light. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat.

Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve.

- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot food wins in winter. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

- The date and time of year
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

- The venue or postcode
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Vehicle access close by
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
For somewhere as remote as Foreland Fields, early notice helps us plan the trip.

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
