Christmas hog roast in Seale, slow-roasted on site
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and festive family get-togethers.
In a small place like Seale, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late-December sunset in Seale comes at about 3:55pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
- 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
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras

The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
