Slow-roasted pork in Round Street
About our Christmas hog roast in Round Street
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We will need light around the serving area. For boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas lights switch-ons, we can cook rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Round Street, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken

- Distance from us
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In December, it is dark in Round Street by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Let us know about tight access
