How our Christmas hog roast works in Liverton Street
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for new Year parties and december open days.
In a small place like Liverton Street, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Count who does not eat pork
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Keep vegetarian food labelled

What the cooking area needs

- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Clearance from walls and tents
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In December, it’s dark in Liverton Street by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
