Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Penwood
For a work Christmas party in Penwood, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. We serve roast turkey, hog roast rolls and roast potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater boxing Day and New Year gatherings and sports club Christmas do’s.
Near Penwood, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
About the food
Roast turkey
A carved roast turkey makes it feel like Christmas, served alongside the pork and crackling.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At a winter fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- An itemised quote
- Planned to your running order
