About our Christmas hog roast in Churt
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. Popular choices include apple sauce, roast turkey and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater festive family get-togethers and new Year parties.
Near Churt, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Light by the serving table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the roaster
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Roast turkey
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Roast potatoes
- Crackling
- Salads
Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count who does not eat pork
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We pack up whatever the weather.
Roast turkey can be added.

What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Churt: your questions answered
Is Churt too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What about Christmas markets?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
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 confirm the space with your quote.
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.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
