Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Hearnden Green
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Whether it’s festive family get-togethers and year-end thank-yous, we will put together a menu of roast potatoes, crackling and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Near Hearnden Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information in advance
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
