How our Christmas hog roast works in Stoke
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so ask early. Whether it is december open days and year-end thank-yous, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes and more.
In winter near Stoke, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Common questions in Stoke
Is Stoke too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Stoke from London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do December dates go quickly?
December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes: add turkey to the menu.
Is lighting needed?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we will sort lighting together.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do guests have to eat outside?
We cook outside, but can typically serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving.

- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
