Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Ningwood
Is Ningwood too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
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.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Late-December sunset in Ningwood comes at about 4:00pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Vehicle access close by
Ningwood is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
