Christmas hog roast for South Ham
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We set up while it’s still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
