Christmas hog roast in Brookwood
About our Christmas hog roast in Brookwood
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Brookwood. We are often asked to cater christmas family parties and end-of-term celebrations, with hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In winter near Brookwood, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Sunset in Brookwood in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Send final numbers in good time

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved to order by a chef
- An itemised quote
