Christmas hog roast in Charlbury
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Charlbury are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.

Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Charlbury
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for club and society Christmas parties and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In Charlbury, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A lit route to the food
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Charlbury
Is Charlbury close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Charlbury?
The closest is Charlbury station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
