Christmas hog roast in Hatchford
Christmas hog roast in Hatchford, carved to order
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Hatchford, a hog roast draws a queue: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. For end-of-year team celebrations and winter fairs and markets, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken and more.
In winter near Hatchford, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.

Hatchford: your questions answered
Is Hatchford close to London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast in The Forest and the Highlands?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you do gluten-free?
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 Hatchford?
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

What affects the price in Hatchford
Things that change the price:
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Planning a Christmas party in Hatchford
Hatchford is about 5 miles south of Weybridge, in Surrey. Hosts in Hatchford book us for Christmas parties of all sizes. Hatchford is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 7 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like St Matthew's CofE Aided Infant School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Hatchford; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Anywhere in KT11, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Nearby, we also cater Christmas parties in Martyr's Green (1 mile south-west), Hatchford End (1 mile west), Downside (1 mile east), Wisley (2 miles north-west) and Byfleet (3 miles north-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (7 miles south-west), Woking (6 miles west), Camberley (13 miles west), Epsom (7 miles east), Horley (15 miles south-east) and Redhill (12 miles south-east).

- Local pubs include The Black Swan pub (under half a mile south-west)
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. In December, it’s dark in Hatchford by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Ask early for a December date.
- 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
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
