On the menu are apple sauce, crackling and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for christmas family parties and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers.
In a small place like Water Oakley, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat.

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Parking near the cooking area
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
