Christmas hog roast in East Sheen, slow-roasted on site
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. There are options for people who do not eat pork. We are frequently asked to cater festive open evenings and sports club Christmas do’s, serving rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and roast turkey.
For Christmas parties in East Sheen, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early, as December is busy on the roads. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in East Sheen are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.

- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day

Questions from East Sheen
Could you cook in Palewell Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to East Sheen?
East Sheen has its own station: Mortlake station.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
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.
What about Christmas markets?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
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.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
