Roughly 14 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Epsom?
Epsom station, in Epsom itself.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Serving inside is normally fine with the venue’s agreement.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Send us the details.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
About our Christmas hog roast in Epsom
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. Typical bookings include staff Christmas do’s and end-of-term celebrations, serving halloumi skewers, roast turkey and apple sauce.
In a town like Epsom, a Christmas party might be at the office, a club or home. The roaster needs a level, lit spot outside. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Label alternatives clearly
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
For a Christmas fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-December sunset in Epsom comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Book early for December.
- 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 clear the serving area and go.

- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

It’s different from the usual Christmas set menu.

- End-of-year team celebrations
- Christmas family parties
- Staff Christmas do’s
