About our Christmas hog roast in Northington
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. For christmas lights switch-ons and family Christmas gatherings, we can cook halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Northington, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Served at the time you choose
