Christmas hog roast in Filmore Hill, carved to order
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. On the menu are crackling, roast potatoes and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for boxing Day and New Year gatherings and staff Christmas do’s.
In a small place like Filmore Hill, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Questions from Filmore Hill
Do you come out to small places like Filmore Hill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Filmore Hill close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, as well as the hog.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How early should we book for Christmas?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

- A lit route to the food
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Sunset in Filmore Hill in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Think about shelter for your guests
