Christmas hog roast in Middle Stoke, slow-roasted on site
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. For family Christmas gatherings and staff Christmas do’s, we will put together a menu of crackling, halloumi skewers and roast turkey for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Middle Stoke, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Questions from Middle Stoke
How far is Middle Stoke from London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London.
Is Middle Stoke too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot food wins in winter. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In December, it is dark in Middle Stoke by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
