How our Christmas hog roast works in Whitchurch Hill
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Whitchurch Hill suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it’s cold outside. We serve roast potatoes, crackling and roast turkey, and we are frequently booked for family Christmas gatherings and winter fairs and markets.
For a Christmas party near Whitchurch Hill, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Christmas parties in Whitchurch Hill are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Send final numbers in good time
