Slow-roasted pork in Selsfield Common

About our Christmas hog roast in Selsfield Common

Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. Typical bookings include between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and winter fairs and markets, with rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and crackling.

In a small place like Selsfield Common, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. 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.

Looking after everyone

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
  • Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
  • Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
  • Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.

Ask about gluten-free rolls.

A closer look at the menu

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Full catering or machine hire?

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • Numbers
  • Menu choices and extras
  • Time on site
  • Access to the cooking area

Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.

Details that help

To check the date and the space, we’ll need:

  • An estimate of numbers
  • Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
  • The address or postcode
  • The date and time of the event

A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.

Why choose a hog roast in Selsfield Common?

Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Why Selsfield Common hosts choose us

  • Staff to serve, so you do not have to
  • Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
  • The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

See our pricing or the cost guide.

What the cooking area needs

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:

  • Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
  • A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
  • Indoor space for eating

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the day works

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. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Selsfield Common are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.

  1. Book early for December.
  2. We check your venue and send a quote.
  3. We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
  4. We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
  5. We clear the serving area and go.

How to prepare

  • Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
  • Choose someone to meet us on arrival
  • Let us know about tight access
