Christmas hog roast in Grafty Green, carved to order
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. On the menu are roast potatoes, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and late-night shopping events.
In a small place like Grafty Green, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. 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, which is built into the price.
Why Grafty Green hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Our staff serve and clear
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Served at the time you choose
