Catered or do it yourself?

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Christmas hog roast in Shottesbrooke, slow-roasted on site
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. Typical bookings include sports club Christmas do’s and end-of-year team celebrations, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and roast turkey.
In winter near Shottesbrooke, we need firm ground and light. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- All the equipment comes with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
