What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot food wins in winter. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- An itemised quote
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Christmas parties in Wiston are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
