Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Monkton
From office parties to village Christmas fairs, we cater festive events around Monkton. On the menu are apple sauce, halloumi skewers and crackling, and typical bookings are for festive open evenings and new Year parties.
Near Monkton, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a restaurant booking, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Questions from Monkton
Is Monkton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can we have roast turkey?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We serve hot rolls on cue, carved fresh.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
