How our Christmas hog roast works in South Nutfield
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in South Nutfield. We serve rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater year-end thank-yous and christmas lights switch-ons.
In a small place like South Nutfield, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
