Christmas hog roast for Statenborough
How our Christmas hog roast works in Statenborough
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. We serve hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and roast turkey, and we are frequently booked for christmas lights switch-ons and family Christmas gatherings.
In winter near Statenborough, we need firm ground and light. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
