Is Priestwood too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children generally like it too.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. A lunchtime Christmas party in Priestwood is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Name someone to meet us, especially for an office party.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
