Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in North Charford
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. Whether it is winter open days and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, crackling and hog roast rolls.
Near North Charford, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
What happens on the day
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your Christmas party in North Charford.

North Charford: your questions answered
Is North Charford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When should we book our Christmas party?
The earlier the better. Weekdays often have more availability.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Give us a contact for the evening.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
