Christmas hog roast in Hurst Wickham, slow-roasted on site
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We serve crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for staff Christmas do’s and end-of-year team celebrations.
Near Hurst Wickham, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Late-December sunset in Hurst Wickham comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.

Why choose a hog roast in Hurst Wickham?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Count who does not eat pork
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We pack up whatever the weather.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
