About our Christmas hog roast in West Hagbourne
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. We are frequently asked to cater end-of-term celebrations and winter fairs and markets, serving halloumi skewers, apple sauce and roast turkey.
In winter near West Hagbourne, we need firm ground and light. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
