Christmas hog roast for Borden
How our Christmas hog roast works in Borden
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. We serve roast potatoes, crackling and roast turkey, and we are regularly asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and winter open days.
Near Borden, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Borden
Do you come out to small places like Borden?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Borden close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
We cook outside, but can usually serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What space does the roaster 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 photo if you’re unsure.
Is lighting needed?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we are on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.

Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Borden, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Name a contact for the day

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is frequently better value. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
