Christmas hog roast in Tickham
How our Christmas hog roast works in Tickham
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. Whether it’s christmas lights switch-ons and winter fairs and markets, we’ll put together a menu of roast turkey, crackling and apple sauce for your guests.
In winter near Tickham, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Where the roaster can go in Tickham
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Vehicle access close by
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Rotisserie chicken
- Roast turkey
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce

What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, it’s dark in Tickham by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Ask early for a December date.
- 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 clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
