How our Christmas hog roast works in Hamsey Green
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas fairs and late-night shopping events, with apple sauce, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
Near Hamsey Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Hamsey Green questions
Can you do a hog roast in Blanchman's Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Hamsey Green?
The closest is Upper Warlingham station, roughly 1 mile away.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What happens if it’s dark?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

What else we do in Hamsey Green

- Request gluten-free rolls

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
