Christmas hog roast in Outwood, slow-roasted on site
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so ask early. Typical bookings include end-of-year team celebrations and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, with crackling, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
In a small place like Outwood, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Christmas parties in Outwood are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Name someone to meet us, especially for an office party.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Light by the serving table
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
