Christmas hog roast in Hatford, slow-roasted on site
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We will need light around the serving area. We serve roast potatoes, apple sauce and roast turkey, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-term celebrations and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In a small place like Hatford, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Where the roaster can go in Hatford
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Vehicle access close by
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In December, it is dark in Hatford by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
