About our Christmas hog roast in Rowledge
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Rowledge suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. We serve apple sauce, roast potatoes and roast turkey, and typical bookings are for boxing Day and New Year gatherings and december open days.
In a small place like Rowledge, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access close by
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.

Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. By about 4:00pm in late December, Rowledge is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
