A hog roast or other catering?
At a winter fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Catslip questions
Is Catslip close to London?
About 38 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Catslip?
The closest is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 4.4 miles away.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is turkey available?
Yes: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Why choose Christmas hog roast in Catslip?
Nothing beats hot pork on a December evening.
