What’s the nearest station to Elmhurst?
Aylesbury station, about 0.9 miles south of the centre.
How far is Elmhurst from London?

Can you cater outdoors in December?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast, as long as guests have shelter.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.

Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Serving inside is typically fine with the venue’s agreement.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. A lunchtime Christmas party in Elmhurst is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
