DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
About our Christmas hog roast in Wissenden
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. We are often asked to cater festive open evenings and society Christmas socials, serving halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls.
Near Wissenden, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Questions from Wissenden
How far is Wissenden from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Wissenden?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do guests have to eat outside?
We cook outside, but can normally serve indoors if the venue agrees.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
What affects the price in Wissenden
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- An estimate of numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
