Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Foots Cray

For Christmas parties in Foots Cray, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early, as December is busy on the roads. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A short route for our equipment
- Indoor space for eating
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
As a London location, Foots Cray is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
