Christmas hog roast in Rose Hill
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Rose Hill
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Rose Hill. Popular choices include apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for winter open days and winter fairs and markets.
Near Rose Hill, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At a winter fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Light by the serving table
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Parking near the cooking area

How the day works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Sunset in Rose Hill in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
