About our Christmas hog roast in Cutteslowe
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. We are frequently asked to cater winter fairs and markets and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, serving roast turkey, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
Around Cutteslowe, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

FAQs for Cutteslowe
How far is Cutteslowe from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast in Oxford University Parks?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How early should we book for Christmas?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Label alternatives clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. By about 3:55pm in late December, Cutteslowe is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
