Christmas hog roast in Lathbury, slow-roasted on site
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We serve crackling, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for club and society Christmas parties and new Year parties.
For a Christmas party near Lathbury, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

For event organisers in Lathbury
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Label alternatives clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
We pack up whatever the weather.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Parking near the cooking area
- Indoor space for eating
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
