Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Grayshott
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Grayshott close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is lighting needed?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we will sort lighting together.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Grayshott
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We will need light around the serving area. Whether it is winter open days and late-night shopping events, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
Around Grayshott, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What comes off the roaster
Roast turkey
At Christmas, add roast turkey alongside the hog, carved at the serving station for a festive feel.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Light by the serving table
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Grayshott
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
