Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Frogmore
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Frogmore. Popular choices include apple sauce, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater december open days and late-night shopping events.
Around Frogmore, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In December, it’s dark in Frogmore by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
