How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Milford, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Serving and clearing done for you
