The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in Horton in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.

Horton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Horton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Horton Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes: add turkey to the menu.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Label alternatives clearly
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Count who does not eat pork
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we will plan it with you.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
You can combine: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
For event organisers in Horton
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
