About our Christmas hog roast in Ditton Hill

Around Ditton Hill, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- A short route for our equipment
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
As a London location, Ditton Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Late-December sunset in Ditton Hill comes at about 3:55pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Ditton Hill: your questions answered
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Ditton Hill?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Stokes Field?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Your menu choices
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
