About our Christmas hog roast in Vernham Street
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We serve hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for sports club Christmas do’s and work Christmas parties.
Near Vernham Street, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
