How early should we book for Christmas?

For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
A hog roast or other catering?
At a winter fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late-December sunset in Ramsden comes at about 3:55pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
