How our Christmas hog roast works in South Alkham
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in South Alkham. Popular choices include roast potatoes, crackling and apple sauce, and we are often booked for new Year parties and winter fairs and markets.
For a Christmas party near South Alkham, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. 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.

Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children generally like it too.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A short route for our equipment
- A lit route to the food
