About our Christmas hog roast in Colliers Wood
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. Popular choices include roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we’re often booked for winter open days and christmas markets.
For Christmas parties in Colliers Wood, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The process
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Sunset in Colliers Wood in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests

Planning help
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Colliers Wood hosts choose us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you need lighting?

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
