A hog roast near Cote
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A lit route to the food
- A short route for our equipment
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

About our Christmas hog roast in Cote
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We serve crackling, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for end-of-year team celebrations and winter open days.
In a small place like Cote, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Roast turkey
Offer turkey and pork, and everyone’s happy, with roast potatoes on the side.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
China crockery is available on request.
What affects the price in Cote
We work out each quote from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Cote
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Events we cater in Cote
Nothing beats hot pork on a December evening.
However big or small the event in Cote, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We are often asked to cater:
- Christmas markets
- Work Christmas parties
- Sports club Christmas do’s
- Lights switch-on evenings
A winter fair at a school like Durrington Junior School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.

Questions from Cote
How far is Cote from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast in Clapham Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
When should we book our Christmas party?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays frequently have more availability.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By about 4:00pm in late December, Cote is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
