How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A lunchtime Christmas party in Wallingford is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Wallingford
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Kinecroft?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Is turkey available?
Yes: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
When should we book our Christmas party?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.

- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Vehicle access close by
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Count who does not eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
