Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Hambledon
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We serve halloumi skewers, roast turkey and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas markets and lights switch-on evenings.
In winter near Hambledon, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Hambledon: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Hambledon?
The closest is Witley station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
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. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What about guests who do not 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 do not offer halal meat.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Planning for dietary needs

- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Share the allergen information in advance
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
