Christmas hog roast in Albourne Street, slow-roasted on site
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so ask early. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater new Year parties and end-of-term celebrations.
In a small place like Albourne Street, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. A lunchtime Christmas party in Albourne Street is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Other occasions in Albourne Street
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Count who does not eat pork
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Label alternatives clearly
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We set up while it is still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
- Roast turkey
- Vegan option (Ve)

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
What affects the price in Albourne Street
Your quote depends on:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
