Christmas hog roast in Haslar
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Haslar
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. Whether it’s winter fairs and markets and work Christmas parties, we can cook crackling, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls and more.
In a small place like Haslar, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
You can combine: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
