About our Christmas hog roast in New Haw

Around New Haw, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count who does not eat pork
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.

How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-December sunset in New Haw comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
