About our Christmas hog roast in Salfords
For a work Christmas party in Salfords, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. For office Christmas parties and winter fairs and markets, we can cook apple sauce, roast turkey and halloumi skewers for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Salfords, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Sunset in Salfords in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- 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 pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time

- A choice of salads and potatoes
See how we price or our hog roast cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Light by the serving table
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Salfords questions
How far is Salfords from London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast in Earlswood Common?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Plan a warm place for guests.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Give us a contact for the evening.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
