How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change.

- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.

Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Tadley
Christmas get-togethers can mean plenty of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We are often asked to cater festive family get-togethers and winter open days, serving roast turkey, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls.
In a town like Tadley, a Christmas party might be at the office, a club or home. We need a lit outdoor spot. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Why choose a hog roast in Tadley?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot food wins in winter. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Tadley hosts choose us
- Served at the time you choose
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How far is Tadley from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What about Christmas markets?
Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Do you need lighting?

Do you come to Tadley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Tadley and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do December dates go quickly?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
