About our Christmas hog roast in Hale Green
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. For year-end thank-yous and christmas markets, we can cook rotisserie chicken, roast turkey and apple sauce.
In winter near Hale Green, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Hale Green are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Hale Green
Is Hale Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Hale Green from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Is lighting needed?
It gets dark early, so we plan lighting with you.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What about Christmas markets?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Why choose a hog roast in Hale Green?
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
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.
