About our Christmas hog roast in Great Haseley
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. On the menu are roast turkey, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for sports club Christmas do’s and christmas markets.
In a small place like Great Haseley, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Great Haseley in December: what to know
Great Haseley is about 5 miles south-west of Thame, in Oxfordshire. From village halls to gardens and fields, Christmas parties around Great Haseley suit a hog roast. Great Haseley is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 7 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Great Milton Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. The Chilterns National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Great Haseley, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
For Christmas parties in OX44, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. That could mean a Christmas party in a garden on Rectory Road, Horse Close Cottages and Back Way, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater Christmas parties include Great Milton (1 mile north-west), Milton Common (1 mile north-east), Tiddington (2 miles north), Albury (2 miles north-east) and Draycott (3 miles north).

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
