Christmas hog roast in Wallend, slow-roasted on site
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so ask early. We’re often asked to cater boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas lights switch-ons, serving crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Wallend, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.

Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Can we have roast turkey?

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 you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A short route for our equipment
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
