How our Christmas hog roast works in Wolverton
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We will need light around the serving area. For year-end thank-yous and society Christmas socials, we’ll put together a menu of roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Wolverton, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Send the allergen list round before the party
We pack up whatever the weather.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

What else we do in Wolverton
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Sunset in Wolverton in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Wolverton
Is Wolverton 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.
Which station is closest to Wolverton?
Thatcham station, about 5 miles north of the centre.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
For event organisers in Wolverton
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
