Christmas hog roast in North Stoneham, slow-roasted on site
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. We are often asked to cater christmas family parties and staff Christmas do’s, with halloumi skewers, crackling and roast potatoes.
Near North Stoneham, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In North Stoneham, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
