How our Christmas hog roast works in Four Oaks
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We’ll need light around the serving area. For sports club Christmas do’s and office Christmas parties, we can cook rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and crackling for your guests.
In winter near Four Oaks, we need firm ground and light. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast turkey
Roast turkey gives a Christmas party a traditional touch, with the pork and crackling too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. By about 3:50pm in late December, Four Oaks is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
- 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 pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
