Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Queen Street
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. Typical bookings include festive family get-togethers and festive open evenings, serving crackling, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Near Queen Street, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. A lunchtime Christmas party in Queen Street is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
