Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Graffham
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. For between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and year-end thank-yous, we can cook halloumi skewers, crackling and hog roast rolls for your guests.
In winter near Graffham, we need firm ground and light. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Planned to your running order

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. A lunchtime Christmas party in Graffham is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
