About our Christmas hog roast in West Tisted
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. For society Christmas socials and office Christmas parties, we can cook apple sauce, roast potatoes and roast turkey for your guests.
For a Christmas party near West Tisted, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Is West Tisted too small for a hog roast?

Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.

We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Hot food suits winter perfectly, as long as guests have shelter.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
