Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

FAQs for Hersham
Can you do a hog roast in West End Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Hersham?
The closest is Walton-On-Thames station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast, as long as guests have shelter.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What happens if it’s dark?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. A lunchtime Christmas party in Hersham is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.

- Our chef carves and staff serve.
