Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Planned to your running order
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
See our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
China crockery is available on request.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Hampton Poyle
Which station is closest to Hampton Poyle?
The closest is Islip station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Is Hampton Poyle too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you cater in Hampton Poyle?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Hampton Poyle and the rest of Oxfordshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- The date and when you’d like to eat

- Dietary requirements
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
