Christmas hog roast in Sun Rising, carved to order
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Sun Rising suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. We serve roast turkey, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for year-end thank-yous and new Year parties.
Near Sun Rising, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Common questions in Sun Rising
Do you come out to small places like Sun Rising?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do December dates go quickly?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is turkey available?
Yes: add turkey to the menu.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Count who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we will plan it with you.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
