Book a hog roast in Worting
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
How our Christmas hog roast works in Worting
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We’re often asked to cater winter fairs and markets and end-of-year team celebrations, serving roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
Around Worting, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.

Can you cater outdoors in December?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast.

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Worting, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
