Christmas hog roast in Sharnal Street, carved to order
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Sharnal Street. We’re often asked to cater festive family get-togethers and winter fairs and markets, with halloumi skewers, apple sauce and roast potatoes.
In a small place like Sharnal Street, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
You can combine: turkey and pork together. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- A clear quote with everything listed

For event organisers in Sharnal Street
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
