How our Christmas hog roast works in Brown Candover
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Brown Candover, a hog roast draws a queue: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. For winter open days and end-of-year team celebrations, we can cook roast turkey, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
For a Christmas party near Brown Candover, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.

Brown Candover questions
Do you come out to small places like Brown Candover?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Brown Candover close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
