Christmas hog roast for Blackheath
Christmas hog roast in Blackheath, slow-roasted on site
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. We are often asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and society Christmas socials, serving crackling, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls.
Near Blackheath, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Questions from Blackheath
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 Blackheath?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
