Christmas hog roast in Botley, carved to order
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. We’re frequently asked to cater family Christmas gatherings and work Christmas parties, with rotisserie chicken, roast turkey and halloumi skewers.
For a Christmas party near Botley, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Questions from Botley
Is Botley close to London?
About 25 miles from central London.
Is Botley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Weekdays frequently have more availability.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. A lunchtime Christmas party in Botley is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count who does not eat pork
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Add dietary questions to the invite
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Roast turkey can be added.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A lit route to the food
- A short route for our equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
