A hog roast near Waterham
About our Christmas hog roast in Waterham
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Waterham. Whether it is sports club Christmas do’s and year-end thank-yous, we’ll put together a menu of roast turkey, crackling and halloumi skewers.
In winter near Waterham, we need firm ground and light. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Waterham: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a hog roast in Seasalter Levels?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Is lighting needed?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.
What about Christmas markets?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Send us the details.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Hot food suits winter perfectly, as long as guests have shelter.
