Christmas hog roast in Wildhern, slow-roasted on site
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Wildhern. Typical bookings include year-end thank-yous and christmas lights switch-ons, with apple sauce, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls.
For a Christmas party near Wildhern, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. By about 4:00pm in late December, Wildhern is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
