Christmas hog roast in Haslingbourne
Christmas hog roast in Haslingbourne, slow-roasted on site
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We will need light around the serving area. We serve crackling, apple sauce and roast potatoes, and we’re often booked for late-night shopping events and club and society Christmas parties.
In winter near Haslingbourne, we need firm ground and light. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Send the allergen list round before the party

- Add dietary questions to the invite
Give us a contact for the evening, especially for an office party.

Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- A short route for our equipment
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
