Christmas hog roast in Winklebury, carved to order
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Popular choices include roast potatoes, hog roast rolls and apple sauce, and we’re regularly asked to cater winter open days and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In Winklebury, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count who does not eat pork
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
