Christmas hog roast in Upper Chute, slow-roasted on site
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Upper Chute, a hog roast draws a queue: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for boxing Day and New Year gatherings and late-night shopping events.
In a small place like Upper Chute, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. By about 4:00pm in late December, Upper Chute is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Our staff serve and clear
