Christmas hog roast in Great Burgh
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Great Burgh
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Whether it’s new Year parties and staff Christmas do’s, we can cook rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
At a festive party in Great Burgh, a hog roast in the garden goes down well on a dark December evening. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Why choose a hog roast in Great Burgh?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why Great Burgh hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Common questions in Great Burgh
How far is Great Burgh from London?
Roughly 14 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast in Merland Rise Recreational Ground?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How the day works
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. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Great Burgh are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
