Christmas hog roast in Ewell Minnis
How our Christmas hog roast works in Ewell Minnis
Swap the set menu for a hog roast at your Christmas party in Ewell Minnis: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. Typical bookings include between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and club and society Christmas parties, serving crackling, roast turkey and apple sauce.
For a Christmas party near Ewell Minnis, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Label alternatives clearly
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Ewell Minnis: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you do a hog roast in Sladden Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
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.
When should we book our Christmas party?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can you cater in Ewell Minnis?
Yes, Ewell Minnis is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
