Slow-roasted pork in Speen
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Speen
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. We’re frequently asked to cater festive family get-togethers and end-of-term celebrations, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling.
Near Speen, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

What else we do in Speen
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Christmas parties in Speen are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
