How our Christmas hog roast works in Sheffield Bottom
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. On the menu are roast potatoes, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater year-end thank-yous and sports club Christmas do’s.
Near Sheffield Bottom, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Questions from Sheffield Bottom
Is Sheffield Bottom close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Sheffield Bottom?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
