Christmas hog roast in Hornton
Christmas hog roast in Hornton, carved to order
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. For society Christmas socials and office Christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of roast turkey, halloumi skewers and crackling and more.
Near Hornton, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Label alternatives clearly
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Sunset in Hornton in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day

What else we do in Hornton
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- An itemised quote
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
