Christmas hog roast in Halfway Street
How our Christmas hog roast works in Halfway Street
Festive events of all kinds around Halfway Street suit a hog roast. We serve hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and lights switch-on evenings.
In winter near Halfway Street, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Share the allergen information in advance
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we will plan it with you.
Roast turkey can be added.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A short route for our equipment
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
