Christmas hog roast in South Stour, carved to order
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We serve hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and roast turkey, and we are often booked for new Year parties and club and society Christmas parties.
In winter near South Stour, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A lunchtime Christmas party in South Stour is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
