About our Christmas hog roast in Wittersham
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so get in touch as soon as you know your date. For winter fairs and markets and work Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of roast turkey, crackling and halloumi skewers.
In winter near Wittersham, we need firm ground and light. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Wittersham: your questions answered
Is Wittersham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Wittersham close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for

Where the roaster can go in Wittersham

- A short route for our equipment
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The process

- Tell us when and where the party is.
- 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 clear away whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
