Slow-roasted pork in Worth
Christmas hog roast in Worth, slow-roasted on site
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. Whether it’s christmas markets and christmas family parties, we’ll put together a menu of roast potatoes, apple sauce and roast turkey for your guests.
Around Worth, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Why choose a hog roast in Worth?
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book our hog roast in Worth
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Timed around your day
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By about 3:55pm in late December, Worth is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Count who does not eat pork
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, and we will plan it with you.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
