About our Christmas hog roast in New Street
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. We serve hog roast rolls, crackling and roast potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and christmas fairs.
For a Christmas party near New Street, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- A lit route to the food
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Is lighting needed?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.

- Whether you want china

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
