Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Islip
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Islip suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it’s cold outside. Whether it’s between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and office Christmas parties, we can cook apple sauce, crackling and hog roast rolls for your guests.
In a small place like Islip, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Islip are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- 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.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
