Christmas hog roast in Wyck
How our Christmas hog roast works in Wyck
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. On the menu are roast turkey, roast potatoes and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas lights switch-ons and festive open evenings.
In winter near Wyck, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Late-December sunset in Wyck comes at about 4:00pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Getting ready for the day

Questions from Wyck
How far is Wyck from London?
About 43 miles from central London.
Is Wyck 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.
How early should we book for Christmas?
December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can the food be served indoors?
We cook outside, but can typically serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
