Christmas hog roast in Bishopsgate, slow-roasted on site
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. Typical bookings include christmas family parties and winter open days, with apple sauce, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
For a Christmas party near Bishopsgate, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Bishopsgate, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Bishopsgate questions
Can you do a hog roast in Windsor Great Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Bishopsgate?
Egham station, about 1.8 miles east of the centre.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When should we book our Christmas party?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you need lighting?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
