Christmas hog roast in Chelsea
How our Christmas hog roast works in Chelsea
Festive events of all kinds around Chelsea suit a hog roast. We serve hog roast rolls, apple sauce and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater lights switch-on evenings and office Christmas parties.
Around Chelsea, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. In London, access needs planning. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Questions from Chelsea
What’s the nearest station to Chelsea?
London Victoria station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
Could you cook in Burton’s Court?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the food be served indoors?
Serving inside is normally fine with the venue’s agreement.
Do December dates go quickly?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays frequently have more availability.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes: add turkey to the menu.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

For anyone getting the train home after the party, the nearest station is London Victoria station, about 1 mile north-east. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Oratory Roman Catholic Primary School, hot rolls go down well.

Catered or do it yourself?
