Christmas hog roast in Ringwould, carved to order
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. For christmas fairs and staff Christmas do’s, we can cook crackling, apple sauce and roast potatoes and more.
In a small place like Ringwould, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Christmas parties in Ringwould are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:50pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Name a contact for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Why choose a hog roast in Ringwould?
Compared with a barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- All the equipment comes with us
