Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Henley Street
Is Henley Street close to London?
About 23 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Camer Park Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.

About the food

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
If you are comparing hog roast caterers for Henley Street, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Henley Street in late December is about 3:50pm, 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.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or DA13 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
