Christmas hog roast in Beacon Hill, carved to order
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Beacon Hill suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. On the menu are roast potatoes, crackling and roast turkey, and we are often booked for christmas fairs and family Christmas gatherings.
In winter near Beacon Hill, we need firm ground and light. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In December, it is dark in Beacon Hill by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Send final numbers in good time

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label alternatives clearly
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.

Beacon Hill: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues 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 Beacon Hill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
