Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Chinatown

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
We set up while it’s still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. By about 3:55pm in late December, Chinatown is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Think about shelter for your guests

What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Parking near the cooking area
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
As a London location, Chinatown is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Chinatown in December: what to know

If people are coming by rail, Chinatown has its own station, Tottenham Court Road station. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Soho Parish CofE Primary School, suit a hog roast.
Here we cover the W1F, W1D and W1T postcode area. Local streets include Duck Lane, Drury Lane and Bruton Lane; a Christmas party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

If your venue is just outside Chinatown, we also cover Soho (1 mile north), St James's (1 mile south), West End (1 mile north-east), Seven Dials (1 mile north-east) and St Giles (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Kensington (3 miles west), Shoreditch (3 miles north-east), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hoxton (3 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles east) and Hampstead (4 miles north-west).

Chinatown: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Chinatown?
Tottenham Court Road station, in Chinatown itself.
Could you cook in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What space does the roaster 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’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
