Why choose a hog roast in Goodnestone?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A choice of salads and potatoes

About our Christmas hog roast in Goodnestone
Christmas get-togethers can mean plenty of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. For between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and staff Christmas do’s, we can cook roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and crackling for your guests.
In a small place like Goodnestone, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
