About our Christmas hog roast in Lewknor
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. For work Christmas parties and society Christmas socials, we can cook halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and apple sauce and more.
For a Christmas party near Lewknor, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Lewknor questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Lewknor?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
