Christmas hog roast in Hook Green
How our Christmas hog roast works in Hook Green
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Hook Green suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it’s cold outside. Popular choices include crackling, hog roast rolls and apple sauce, and we’re frequently booked for between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and office Christmas parties.
Near Hook Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
About the food
Roast turkey
Turkey and pork together cover traditionalists and crackling fans alike.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In December, it’s dark in Hook Green by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

Could you cook in Longfield Chalk Bank?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

How early should we book for Christmas?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays frequently have more availability.
What happens in bad weather?

- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
