Christmas hog roast in Little Holbury
About our Christmas hog roast in Little Holbury
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. We are frequently asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and festive family get-togethers, serving crackling, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
In a small place like Little Holbury, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
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.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access close by
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
