Christmas hog roast for Burnt Oak
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. A lunchtime Christmas party in Burnt Oak is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Common questions in Burnt Oak
Could you cook in Watling Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Burnt Oak?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do you need lighting?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we’ll sort lighting together.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When should we book our Christmas party?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays often have more availability.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We pack up whatever the weather.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
