Why choose a hog roast in Murcott?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Murcott
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. There are options for people who do not eat pork. Whether it’s year-end thank-yous and sports club Christmas do’s, we can cook crackling, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Murcott, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.

What the cooking area needs

- Parking near the cooking area
- Light by the serving table
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
