Christmas hog roast for East Horsley
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in East Horsley
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. Typical bookings include society Christmas socials and end-of-year team celebrations, with crackling, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
For a Christmas get-together near East Horsley, a hog roast in the garden goes down well on a dark December evening. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
What comes off the roaster
Roast turkey
Offer turkey and pork, and everyone’s happy.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In East Horsley, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
