Christmas hog roast in Colnbrook, slow-roasted on site
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. Whether it is festive open evenings and office Christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls and more.
For a Christmas party near Colnbrook, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By about 3:55pm in late December, Colnbrook is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.

- We clear the serving area and go.

Can you serve inside our office or hall?
We cook outside, but can typically serve indoors if the venue agrees.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
