Planning a Christmas party in Barwell
Barwell is about 2 miles south-east of Esher, in Greater London. We cover Christmas parties in Barwell, along with the towns and villages around it. Barwell is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover. Our bookings stretch from Barwell to Guildford (about 13 miles away).
For anyone getting the train home after the party, Chessington South station, about 0.5 miles east, is the nearest station. A winter fair at a school like Ellingham Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. Barwell is within about 7 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
This part of Greater London takes in KT9 and KT10, and we can cater your Christmas party anywhere in it. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Barwell Lane, Stevens' Lane and Hill View Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Nearby, we also cater Christmas parties in Claygate (1 mile north-west), Hook (1 mile north-east), Malden Rushett (1 mile south), Hinchley Wood (2 miles north-west) and Ditton Hill (2 miles north). Larger places within reach include London (14 miles north-east), City of Westminster (13 miles north-east), Marylebone (13 miles north-east), Kensington (11 miles north-east), St Pancras (15 miles north-east) and Hampstead (15 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Chessington Castle Hill (1.2 miles east) and The Ashley Centre (2.7 miles south-east). The countryside around Barwell includes The Lake and Jubilee Wood.

What else we do in Barwell
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
As a London location, Barwell is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By about 3:55pm in late December, Barwell is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Name a contact for the day

Common questions in Barwell
Can you do a hog roast in Claygate Common?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
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.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes: add turkey to the menu.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What affects the price in Barwell
Each price is built from:
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
