Christmas hog roast in Stalisfield, slow-roasted on site
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We’re often asked to cater festive family get-togethers and winter open days, serving apple sauce, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Stalisfield, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Stalisfield questions
Could you cook in Spuckles and Kennelling Woods?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Stalisfield?
The closest is Charing station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
Do you cover Stalisfield?
Yes, Stalisfield is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Vehicle access close by
- A lit route to the food
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
