How Christmas hog roast works in Greater London

For a work Christmas party in Greater London, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, roast turkey and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for christmas lights switch-ons and family Christmas gatherings.

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.

  1. Tell us when and where the party is.
  2. We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
  3. The roast starts in the afternoon.
  4. Our chef carves and staff serve.
  5. We clear away whatever the weather.

Christmas parties across Greater London

Across Greater London, festive bookings range from works car parks to village halls. Let us know about the spot and the route. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within easy reach of places across Greater London, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.

London: A Christmas fair at St George the Martyr is just the kind of event a hog roast suits. For colleagues travelling by train, London has its own station, Elephant & Castle station. A lunchtime Christmas party in London is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December.

About the food

Stuffing and apple sauce

No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

Roast pork

We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.

Before you choose a spot

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:

  • Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
  • A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
  • Indoor space for eating

Prices and what affects them

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • Plates or china
  • The journey to the venue
  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
  • How easy it is to reach the spot

Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.

Getting an accurate quote

To get the best quote, tell us:

  • Allergies we should know about
  • Which meats and sides you’d like
  • Your date and serving time
  • The address or postcode

Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
