Christmas hog roast in Wolverton
About our Christmas hog roast in Wolverton
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Wolverton suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it is cold outside. On the menu are apple sauce, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we are often booked for christmas markets and late-night shopping events.
In winter near Wolverton, we need firm ground and light. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Send the allergen list round before the party
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Parking near the cooking area
- Indoor space for eating
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby

Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Roast turkey
Offer turkey and pork, and everyone’s happy.
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. By about 3:50pm in late December, Wolverton is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Send final numbers in good time
- Let us know about tight access
