Christmas hog roast for Yattendon
How our Christmas hog roast works in Yattendon
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. Whether it is boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas markets, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and roast potatoes and more.
For a Christmas party near Yattendon, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Yattendon questions
What’s the nearest station to Yattendon?
The closest is Goring & Streatley station, roughly 4.9 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Yattendon?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Serving and clearing done for you

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
