How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. A lunchtime Christmas party in Locks Heath is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day

- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

About the food
Roast turkey
At Christmas, add roast turkey alongside the hog, carved at the serving station.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
