Christmas hog roast in Beddington
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Beddington
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for winter fairs and markets and office Christmas parties.
For Christmas parties in Beddington, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Beddington questions
Which station is closest to Beddington?
Waddon station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Could you cook in Waddon Ponds?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When should we book our Christmas party?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
Is turkey available?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, send us:
- Your menu choices
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Sunset in Beddington in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- A short route for our equipment
- A lit route to the food
As a London location, Beddington 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.
