How our Christmas hog roast works in Crockham Heath

Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Crockham Heath suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. For end-of-term celebrations and new Year parties, we can cook rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and roast potatoes and more.

Near Crockham Heath, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Looking after everyone

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

  • Share the allergen information in advance
  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
  • Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
  • Count who doesn’t eat pork

We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.

Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.

Questions from Crockham Heath

Could you cook in Hamstead Marshall Park?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Is Crockham Heath close to London?

Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

What happens in bad weather?

We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

Can you work around our timings?

We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.

How do we prepare?

The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.

Can you do gluten-free?

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.

Can we have roast turkey?

We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

How it works

On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Christmas parties in Crockham Heath are almost always after dark: sunset is about 4:00pm in December. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.

  1. Send us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
  3. The roast starts in the afternoon.
  4. Our chef carves and staff serve.
  5. We clear away whatever the weather.

Before we arrive

  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
  • Give us a contact number for the day

How to get a price
