Slow-roasted pork in Radfield
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Radfield
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We will need light around the serving area. Whether it’s christmas fairs and work Christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and roast turkey and more.
For a Christmas party near Radfield, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Radfield, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
There’s no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- A photo of the cooking area
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.
