How our Christmas hog roast works in Filchampstead
For a work Christmas party in Filchampstead, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. We’re often asked to cater year-end thank-yous and office Christmas parties, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and apple sauce.
Near Filchampstead, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Filchampstead: your questions answered
Is Filchampstead close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Filchampstead?
Oxford station, about 3.2 miles east of the centre.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you need lighting?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Roast turkey
Offer turkey and pork, and everyone’s happy.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Mix and match: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
