Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Plan a warm place for guests.
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.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

About the food
Roast turkey
Roast turkey gives a Christmas party a traditional touch, with the pork and crackling too.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Christmas parties in Newland Green are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:50pm in December. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Add dietary questions to the invite
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
