How our Christmas hog roast works in Gold Street
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. Whether it’s between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and end-of-year team celebrations, we will put together a menu of crackling, halloumi skewers and roast turkey.
For a Christmas party near Gold Street, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
