About our Christmas hog roast in Nuffield
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes and salads. There are options for people who do not eat pork. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for end-of-year team celebrations and christmas markets.
Near Nuffield, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. 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.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Served at the time you choose
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A lit route to the food
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

We cook outside, but can typically serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.

When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you come to Nuffield?
Yes, Nuffield is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, it is dark in Nuffield by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Gather dietary requirements early

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
