Christmas hog roast in Weston, slow-roasted on site
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. For late-night shopping events and christmas fairs, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and roast potatoes and more.
Near Weston, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Common questions in Weston
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Weston?
Petersfield station, about 1.4 miles north-east of the centre.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How early should we book for Christmas?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you cover Weston?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Weston and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. By about 4:00pm in late December, Weston is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.

A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
