Catered or do it 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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
About our Christmas hog roast in Wash Water
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. We’re frequently asked to cater december open days and staff Christmas do’s, serving hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and roast turkey.
Near Wash Water, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
We pack up whatever the weather.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A lit route to the food
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
