Christmas hog roast in Mid Lavant
How our Christmas hog roast works in Mid Lavant
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. There are options for people who do not eat pork. We are frequently asked to cater new Year parties and christmas fairs, with crackling, halloumi skewers and roast turkey.
In winter near Mid Lavant, we need firm ground and light. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Label alternatives clearly
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A lit route to the food
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
