How our Christmas hog roast works in Waterside
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Waterside. For new Year parties and winter open days, we can cook halloumi skewers, roast turkey and roast potatoes.
For a Christmas party near Waterside, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Waterside in December: what to know
Waterside is about 1 mile south of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire. We cater Christmas parties of every size in Waterside. Waterside is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire where we cater. You can also see our page for Reading, about 24 miles away.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Christ Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Waterside Primary Academy, hot rolls go down well. Waterside is within about 5 miles of the Chilterns National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
