How our Christmas hog roast works in Temple Valley
For a work Christmas party in Temple Valley, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. Typical bookings include new Year parties and club and society Christmas parties, with roast turkey, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
In winter near Temple Valley, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A lit route to the food
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Why choose a hog roast in Temple Valley?
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. A lunchtime Christmas party in Temple Valley is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
