Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Heath End
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. For family Christmas gatherings and new Year parties, we will put together a menu of roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls for your guests.
In a small place like Heath End, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Christmas parties in Heath End are almost always after dark: sunset is about 4:00pm in December. The cooking area is lit; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Parking near the cooking area
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
