Christmas hog roast for South Street
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is frequently better value. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Christmas hog roast in South Street, slow-roasted on site

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A lunchtime Christmas party in South Street is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive

About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Light by the serving table
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Parking near the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the roaster
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Salads
- Roast turkey
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Roast potatoes

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
