Christmas hog roast for Belmont
How our Christmas hog roast works in Belmont
For a work Christmas party in Belmont, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. We are often asked to cater between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and christmas fairs, with halloumi skewers, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
For a Christmas get-together near Belmont, a hog roast in the garden goes down well on a dark December evening. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count who does not eat pork
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Name someone to meet us, especially for an office party.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Belmont: 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.
How far is Belmont from London?
About 12 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
When should we book our Christmas party?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, as well as the hog.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
