The process

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. By about 3:50pm in late December, Erith is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.

  1. Send us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We confirm the space and send a price.
  3. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
  4. Our chef carves and staff serve.
  5. We pack up, even in the rain.

Getting ready for the day

  • Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
  • Gather dietary requirements early
  • Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Planning help

Catered or do it yourself?

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Working with your venue

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

What we serve, dish by dish

Stuffing and apple sauce

Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Why choose Christmas hog roast in Erith?

Hot food on a cold night is always welcome.

A hog roast suits a wide range of occasions. Typical bookings include:

  • Staff Christmas do’s
  • Christmas fairs
  • Christmas lights switch-ons

  • Label alternatives clearly

  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

Name someone to meet us, especially for an office party.

Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Erith questions

Could you cook in Wildspace Conservation Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

What if our house in Erith has no side access?

It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

What happens after service?

We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.

What about Christmas markets?

We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.

Can you work around our timings?

We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

What’s included?

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.

How long does the roast need?

A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.

What the cooking area needs

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:

  • Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
  • A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
  • A level outdoor area that can be lit

As a London location, Erith is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
