Christmas hog roast in Yaverland, slow-roasted on site
For a work Christmas party in Yaverland, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. We are often asked to cater winter fairs and markets and club and society Christmas parties, serving roast turkey, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
For a Christmas party near Yaverland, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

FAQs for Yaverland
Do you come out to small places like Yaverland?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. With sunset at about 4:00pm in December, most Christmas parties in Yaverland are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
