For event organisers in Sulhamstead Abbots

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.

How it works

Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By about 4:00pm in late December, Sulhamstead Abbots is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.

  1. Ask early for a December date.
  2. We check your venue and send a quote.
  3. We set up under cover in daylight.
  4. We serve pork, turkey and sides.
  5. We tidy up and leave.

Before we arrive

  • Have a level outdoor spot ready
  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
  • Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Full catering or machine hire?

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

A closer look at the menu

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.

Stuffing and apple sauce

Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.

Before you choose a spot

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:

  • A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
  • A level outdoor area that can be lit
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
