About our Christmas hog roast in Dulwich Village

Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Dulwich Village hosts choose us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Dulwich Village are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Share the allergen information in advance
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Roast turkey can be added.
