Christmas hog roast in Highclere, slow-roasted on site
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Highclere. For winter fairs and markets and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In winter near Highclere, we need firm ground and light. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

- You get a quote with the menu.
