Christmas hog roast in Hook Common, carved to order
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Hook Common, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it’s cold outside. For winter fairs and markets and christmas family parties, we will put together a menu of crackling, roast turkey and hog roast rolls for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Hook Common, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.

What else we do in Hook Common
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
