DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
How our Christmas hog roast works in Hale
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes and salads. There are options for people who don’t eat pork. Whether it is festive family get-togethers and december open days, we’ll put together a menu of roast turkey, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Hale, 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’re ready to eat.

For event organisers in Hale
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A lit route to the food
