Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Winford
For a work Christmas party in Winford, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. For winter fairs and markets and new Year parties, we will put together a menu of roast potatoes, apple sauce and halloumi skewers and more.
Near Winford, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Step by step
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, it is dark in Winford by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Common questions in Winford
What’s the nearest station to Winford?
Lake station, about 1.6 miles east of the centre.
Is Winford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do December dates go quickly?
December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
We cook outside, but can typically serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
A hog roast or other catering?
For a Christmas fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved to order by a chef
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
- What the outdoor space is like
- Allergies we should know about
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
