A hog roast near Fullerton
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Fullerton
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Fullerton. We are frequently asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and office Christmas parties, serving apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
In a small place like Fullerton, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Common questions in Fullerton
Can you do a hog roast in Longstock Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is Fullerton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How early should we book for Christmas?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays often have more availability.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label alternatives clearly
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
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. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Our staff serve and clear

The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. A lunchtime Christmas party in Fullerton is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Book early for December.
- 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 clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
