Christmas hog roast in South Stoke, slow-roasted on site
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. For christmas lights switch-ons and club and society Christmas parties, we can cook crackling, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls and more.
In a small place like South Stoke, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Offer roast turkey as well as the hog.
A hog roast suits a wide range of occasions in South Stoke. Here are some of the most popular:
- Winter open days
- Festive family get-togethers

Planners, venues and businesses

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. A lunchtime Christmas party in South Stoke is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
- What the outdoor space is like
- Allergies we should know about
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
