Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Lidsey
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We will need light around the serving area. Typical bookings include december open days and late-night shopping events, serving apple sauce, hog roast rolls and crackling.
In winter near Lidsey, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Why choose a hog roast in Lidsey?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- An itemised quote
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Questions from Lidsey
Is Lidsey close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Lidsey?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.

Here’s what affects the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
