Slow-roasted pork in Headley
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. By about 3:55pm in late December, Headley is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Name a contact for the day

About our Christmas hog roast in Headley
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Headley suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. We’re often asked to cater lights switch-on evenings and year-end thank-yous, serving roast turkey, crackling and roast potatoes.
Near Headley, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
When you contact us, please mention:
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Roughly how many people

We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote: use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information in advance
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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 nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
