Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Common questions in Chipstead
Can you do a hog roast in Fames Rough?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What if our house in Chipstead has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
