Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How our Christmas hog roast works in Water Stratford
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. We are frequently asked to cater new Year parties and staff Christmas do’s, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.

- Vehicle access close by
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
