How our Christmas hog roast works in Ottershaw
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Ottershaw suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it’s cold outside. We serve apple sauce, hog roast rolls and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for boxing Day and New Year gatherings and winter fairs and markets.
At a festive party in Ottershaw, hot rolls from the roaster go down well. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. By about 3:55pm in late December, Ottershaw is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
