Christmas hog roast for Chessington
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A lit route to the food
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
As a London location, Chessington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Sunset in Chessington in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Festive bookings around Chessington

Chessington is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Chessington to London (about 13 miles away).

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

Chessington: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in Horton Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
How early should we book for Christmas?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can the food be served indoors?
Cooking is always outdoors; guests can eat inside.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
