Slow-roasted pork in Sunningwell
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Looking after everyone

- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled

Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By about 3:55pm in late December, Sunningwell is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
