Christmas hog roast in Hascombe
Christmas hog roast in Hascombe, carved to order
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. Typical bookings include christmas lights switch-ons and sports club Christmas do’s, with halloumi skewers, crackling and roast potatoes.
Near Hascombe, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-December sunset in Hascombe comes at about 3:55pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Common questions in Hascombe
Is Hascombe close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A short route for our equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What affects the price in Hascombe
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- Time on site
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
