Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Middlegreen
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We’re often asked to cater new Year parties and end-of-year team celebrations, with crackling, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In winter near Middlegreen, we need firm ground and light. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Middlegreen: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Middlegreen?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Ditton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you come to Middlegreen?
Yes, Middlegreen is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Do December dates go quickly?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
