How our Christmas hog roast works in Mockbeggar
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. For winter open days and sports club Christmas do’s, we can cook hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce and more.
In a small place like Mockbeggar, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
