Christmas hog roast in Church End, slow-roasted on site

Fridays in December go first, so ask early. We are frequently asked to cater family Christmas gatherings and festive open evenings, with apple sauce, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.

Around Church End, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. In London, access needs planning. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

The process

We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. By about 3:55pm in late December, Church End is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:

  • Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
  • Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
  • Count who doesn’t eat pork

A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.

Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.

A hog roast or other catering?

Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Why Church End hosts choose us

  • Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
  • We bring everything to cook and serve
  • Crackling for everyone who wants it
  • A clear quote with everything listed

Where the roaster can go in Church End

A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:

  • Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
  • A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
  • A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft

As a London location, Church End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

  • Rotisserie chicken
  • Salads

Questions from Church End

What if our house in Church End has no side access?

It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Can you do a hog roast in Victoria Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.

Can the food be served indoors?

The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.

Do December dates go quickly?

The earlier the better. Weekdays often have more availability.

How do we prepare?

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.

Can we just hire the roaster?

DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Can you do gluten-free?

Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

What’s the price?

Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.

Organising for someone else?

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

  • Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
