Christmas hog roast in Hill Brow
Christmas hog roast in Hill Brow, carved to order
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We will need light around the serving area. We’re often asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and festive open evenings, with hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
Near Hill Brow, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Hill Brow questions
Which station is closest to Hill Brow?
Liss station, about 1.1 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Hill Brow 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.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
We cook outside, but can usually serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How much room do you need?
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.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Count who does not eat pork
