About our Christmas hog roast in Woolpack Corner
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. Popular choices include roast turkey, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-term celebrations and office Christmas parties.
In a small place like Woolpack Corner, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Woolpack Corner
Is Woolpack Corner 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.
Could you cook in Wattle Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Plan a warm place for guests.
Is turkey available?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, as well as the hog.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
China crockery is available on request.
