Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Crown Wood
Which station is closest to Crown Wood?
The closest is Martins Heron station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
How far is Crown Wood from London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What happens if it is dark?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we’ll sort lighting together.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
