How our Christmas hog roast works in Farringdon
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. We serve apple sauce, roast turkey and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for lights switch-on evenings and office Christmas parties.
In Farringdon, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Can you do gluten-free?

Can you cater outdoors in December?

How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day.

- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
Getting a price
