About our Christmas hog roast in Pitland Street
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. Whether it is family Christmas gatherings and sports club Christmas do’s, we can cook apple sauce, roast turkey and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In winter near Pitland Street, we need firm ground and light. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In December, it is dark in Pitland Street by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Share the allergen information in advance
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Where the roaster can go in Pitland Street
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Parking near the cooking area
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
