Christmas hog roast in Fox, carved to order
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. We serve halloumi skewers, roast turkey and crackling, and typical bookings are for between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and festive open evenings.
For a Christmas party near Fox, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Fox hosts choose us
- Planned to your running order
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Serving and clearing done for you

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.

Fox: your questions answered
How far is Fox from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Fox too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Serving inside is usually fine with the venue’s agreement.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A short route for our equipment
- Clearance from walls and tents
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Fox

Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Sunset in Fox in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
