How our Christmas hog roast works in Wytham
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We serve apple sauce, hog roast rolls and roast turkey, and we are regularly asked to cater late-night shopping events and staff Christmas do’s.
For a Christmas party near Wytham, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Wytham are after dark. The cooking area is lit; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
- Time on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
