How our Christmas hog roast works in Stone Cross
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. Whether it’s festive family get-togethers and staff Christmas do’s, we can cook roast potatoes, hog roast rolls and apple sauce for your guests.
At a festive party in Stone Cross, hot rolls from the roaster go down well on a dark December evening. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Stone Cross are after dark. The cooking area is lit; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Let us know about tight access
