Christmas hog roast for Eton
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Late-December sunset in Eton comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

How our Christmas hog roast works in Eton
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Eton, a hog roast draws a queue: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. Whether it’s club and society Christmas parties and december open days, we will put together a menu of roast potatoes, roast turkey and crackling and more.
In a small place like Eton, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Travel to Eton
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

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

What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Common questions in Eton
Could you cook in The Goswells?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Eton close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
