Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Chobham
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. On the menu are halloumi skewers, crackling and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for christmas markets and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In Chobham, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Chobham are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.

Chobham questions
How far is Chobham from London?
About 24 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Milford Green and Coxhill Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast, as long as guests have shelter.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
