About our Christmas hog roast in Lovedean
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Lovedean. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast turkey, and typical bookings are for late-night shopping events and office Christmas parties.
Near Lovedean, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, 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 Lovedean is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
