Christmas hog roast in North Boarhunt, slow-roasted on site
Christmas get-togethers can mean plenty of people, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. We are often asked to cater christmas lights switch-ons and year-end thank-yous, with roast potatoes, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
In winter near North Boarhunt, we need firm ground and light. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. A lunchtime Christmas party in North Boarhunt is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
