Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Farnham
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Farnham. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for staff Christmas do’s and club and society Christmas parties.
In Farnham, a hog roast is a welcome change at Christmas. Plan lighting and a short route from the roaster to the party. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

About the food

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is turkey available?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Plan a warm place for guests.

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
