Christmas hog roast in Ansteadbrook
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Ansteadbrook
From office parties to village Christmas fairs, we cater festive events around Ansteadbrook. We are often asked to cater lights switch-on evenings and end-of-year team celebrations, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and roast turkey.
In a small place like Ansteadbrook, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Sunset in Ansteadbrook in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

Ansteadbrook questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Ansteadbrook?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How early should we book for Christmas?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
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.

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
