How our Christmas hog roast works in Great Hampden
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We’re often asked to cater new Year parties and end-of-year team celebrations, with crackling, roast turkey and halloumi skewers.
In winter near Great Hampden, we need firm ground and light. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Request gluten-free rolls
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In December, it is dark in Great Hampden by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Great Hampden
Is Great Hampden close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London.
Is Great Hampden 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 our Christmas party?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays often have more availability.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
For event organisers in Great Hampden
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
