Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Eversley
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. Whether it’s family Christmas gatherings and christmas markets, we can cook apple sauce, roast turkey and hog roast rolls for your guests.
Near Eversley, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access close by
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area

Common questions in Eversley
Which station is closest to Eversley?
Crowthorne station, about 3.1 miles east of the centre.
Is Eversley close to London?
About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Label alternatives clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up while it is still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Here’s what affects the price:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Travel to Eversley
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Eversley are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
