How our Christmas hog roast works in Little Hungerford
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Little Hungerford. Whether it’s festive family get-togethers and christmas fairs, we’ll put together a menu of roast turkey, roast potatoes and crackling and more.
In winter near Little Hungerford, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Take a look at how we price and what a hog roast costs.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Parking near the cooking area
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
