Christmas hog roast in Shedfield, carved to order
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. For club and society Christmas parties and winter open days, we can cook roast potatoes, roast turkey and crackling.
Near Shedfield, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. With sunset at about 4:00pm in December, most Christmas parties in Shedfield are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.

- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.

Preparing for the day
