Christmas hog roast in Gundleton, carved to order
Christmas get-togethers can mean plenty of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. Whether it’s boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas family parties, we will put together a menu of roast potatoes, crackling and apple sauce for your guests.
Near Gundleton, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. By about 4:00pm in late December, Gundleton is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.

- We carve and serve hot on cue.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Light by the serving table
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)

FAQs for Gundleton
Do you come out to small places like Gundleton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Gundleton close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do guests have to eat outside?
We cook outside, but can usually serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
