Slow-roasted pork in Longparish
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Longparish
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. For society Christmas socials and new Year parties, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce and more.
In winter near Longparish, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark

Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.

Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies

How the day works

Christmas parties in Longparish are almost always after dark: sunset is about 4:00pm in December. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
