Christmas hog roast for Upper Street
Christmas hog roast in Upper Street, slow-roasted on site
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. We serve hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater late-night shopping events and work Christmas parties.
In winter near Upper Street, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.

Do you come out to small places like Upper Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Do guests have to eat outside?

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Why choose a hog roast in Upper Street?
For a Christmas fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
