About our Christmas hog roast in Inkpen Common
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We’re often asked to cater christmas fairs and work Christmas parties, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and crackling.
For a Christmas party near Inkpen Common, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Label alternatives clearly
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Count who does not eat pork
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
