What we serve, dish by dish

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Alfold Crossways
Could you cook in Fir Tree Copse?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Alfold Crossways too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you come to Alfold Crossways?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Alfold Crossways and Surrey. Tell us the venue and we will quote.

Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is usually fine with the venue’s agreement.

Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
