Christmas hog roast in Haverstock, slow-roasted on site
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so ask early. For christmas lights switch-ons and winter open days, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and roast turkey for your guests.
Around Haverstock, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
When should we book our Christmas party?
December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
