How our Christmas hog roast works in North Heath

December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so contact us as soon as you know your date. We serve apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we are often booked for end-of-year team celebrations and club and society Christmas parties.

Near North Heath, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

For planners, venues and organisers

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

Catered or do it yourself?

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Planning the cooking spot

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:

  • Clearance from walls and tents
  • A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
  • A hall, office or heated marquee for guests

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
