How our Christmas hog roast works in Woodside
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. Popular choices include roast turkey, hog roast rolls and roast potatoes, and we are often booked for work Christmas parties and sports club Christmas do’s.
In a small place like Woodside, December lanes are dark, 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.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In December, it is dark in Woodside by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
