Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Label alternatives clearly
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we will plan it with you.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in East Hanney
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. On the menu are roast turkey, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for end-of-term celebrations and work Christmas parties.
For a Christmas party near East Hanney, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Sunset in East Hanney in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

These are the details we need:
- The date and time of the event

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Questions from East Hanney
Do you come out to small places like East Hanney?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is East Hanney close to London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens if it’s dark?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you cater in East Hanney?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, East Hanney and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
