Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Herne Hill
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We are often asked to cater new Year parties and festive open evenings, with roast turkey, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
For Christmas parties in Herne Hill, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early, as December is busy on the roads. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Herne Hill
What’s the nearest station to Herne Hill?
Herne Hill has its own station: North Dulwich station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Herne Hill?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.

- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.

You can combine: turkey and pork together. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
