Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Gerrards Cross

Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What about Christmas markets?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Send us the details.
Can you cater in Gerrards Cross?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. A lunchtime Christmas party in Gerrards Cross is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- 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 tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Name a contact for the day

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
