How our Christmas hog roast works in Milton Heights
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. On the menu are hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and roast turkey, and typical bookings are for winter fairs and markets and winter open days.
In a small place like Milton Heights, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours.

Milton Heights questions
Is Milton Heights too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Cooking is always outdoors; guests can eat inside.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In December, it is dark in Milton Heights by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
