Christmas hog roast in Myrke, slow-roasted on site
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Myrke. Whether it is christmas family parties and new Year parties, we can cook rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Myrke, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Where the roaster can go in Myrke
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A short route for our equipment
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
