Christmas hog roast in Grange
Christmas hog roast in Grange, carved to order
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Grange. For new Year parties and club and society Christmas parties, we can cook roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and roast turkey for your guests.
In a small place like Grange, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
For event organisers in Grange
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Where the roaster can go in Grange
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Vehicle access close by
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

We serve hot rolls on cue, carved fresh.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
Common questions in Grange
How far is Grange from London?
About 30 miles from central London.
Can you do a hog roast in Riverside Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, it’s dark in Grange by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
How to get a price
