Christmas hog roast in Cricklewood, slow-roasted on site
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. We’re often asked to cater christmas markets and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, with hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
For Christmas parties in Cricklewood, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early, as December is busy on the roads. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat.

The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Cricklewood are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
