Christmas hog roast in Roke, carved to order
For a work Christmas party in Roke, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. We are often asked to cater christmas fairs and year-end thank-yous, serving crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
For a Christmas party near Roke, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A lit route to the food
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
