A hog roast near Southington
Christmas hog roast in Southington, 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. We serve hog roast rolls, crackling and apple sauce, and we are often booked for late-night shopping events and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In winter near Southington, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- Plates or china
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- An estimate of numbers
