Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Hatchet Green
Is Hatchet Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do December dates go quickly?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

What else we do in Hatchet Green
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label alternatives clearly
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Add dietary questions to the invite
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. By about 4:00pm in late December, Hatchet Green is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Parking near the cooking area
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Roast potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Salads
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Roast turkey
- Stuffing and apple sauce
What affects the price in Hatchet Green
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Dietary requirements
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
You can combine: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- A choice of salads and potatoes

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
