Christmas hog roast in Marcham, carved to order
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. We serve halloumi skewers, apple sauce and roast turkey, and we’re frequently booked for work Christmas parties and lights switch-on evenings.
In Marcham, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

What else we do in Marcham
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A lunchtime Christmas party in Marcham is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

- 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.
