A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- An itemised quote

Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. By about 3:55pm in late December, Childs Hill is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

Childs Hill questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Childs Hill?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Childs Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
How early should we book for Christmas?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
