DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
About our Christmas hog roast in Upper Froyle
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. There are options for people who do not eat pork. Popular choices include roast turkey, roast potatoes and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and christmas lights switch-ons.
In a small place like Upper Froyle, 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’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees

- Firm ground rather than soft lawn

Questions from Upper Froyle
Is Upper Froyle close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Upper Froyle?
Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 2.3 miles east of the centre.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can we have roast turkey?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re 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 you both updated.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
The process
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. A lunchtime Christmas party in Upper Froyle is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
How to prepare
