Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Count who does not eat pork
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. A lunchtime Christmas party in Three Leg Cross is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive

- Name a contact for the day

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At a winter fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
