Christmas hog roast in Cranleigh, carved to order
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We’ll need light around the serving area. On the menu are crackling, hog roast rolls and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for society Christmas socials and winter open days.
In Cranleigh, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. 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.
Why choose Christmas hog roast in Cranleigh?
Turkey and pork together cover everyone.
We’re booked for all kinds of occasions in Cranleigh and nearby. Some of the most common are:
- Staff Christmas do’s
- Lights switch-on evenings
- Year-end thank-yous
- Family Christmas gatherings
A winter fair at a school like St Cuthbert Mayne Catholic Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Full catering or machine hire?
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 is 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 hog roast compared with other options
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
