Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.

Why choose a hog roast in Onslow Village?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

What else we do in Onslow Village
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. A lunchtime Christmas party in Onslow Village is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
