About our Christmas hog roast in Foxendown
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Foxendown, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it is cold outside. Popular choices include apple sauce, halloumi skewers and crackling, and typical bookings are for staff Christmas do’s and festive family get-togethers.
In winter near Foxendown, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Vehicle access close by
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Working with your venue

If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In December, it is dark in Foxendown by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
