How our Christmas hog roast works in Ford
For a work Christmas party in Ford, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. Whether it’s winter open days and end-of-term celebrations, we can cook hog roast rolls, crackling and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In winter near Ford, we need firm ground and light. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Ford
Is Ford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Ford close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
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 you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, it’s dark in Ford by 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.
