Christmas hog roast for Kingsclere
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Kingsclere
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. On the menu are apple sauce, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for christmas fairs and end-of-year team celebrations.
In Kingsclere, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Indoor space for eating
- Vehicle access close by
- Clearance from walls and tents
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
