Christmas hog roast in Betsham, carved to order
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. For sports club Christmas do’s and festive open evenings, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, apple sauce and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Near Betsham, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Label alternatives clearly
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Betsham questions
Is Betsham close to London?
About 18 miles from central London.
Could you cook in Beacon Wood Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Send us the details.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
