A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Our staff serve and clear
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Fresh carving at the serving station

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In December, it’s dark in Enslow by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Enslow
Is Enslow close to London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Enslow?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can we have roast turkey?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Can you cater in Enslow?
Yes, Enslow is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- The number of people

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
