Slow-roasted pork in Highleigh
Christmas hog roast in Highleigh, carved to order
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. We serve roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and roast turkey, and we’re regularly asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and festive family get-togethers.
For a Christmas party near Highleigh, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In December, it is dark in Highleigh by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Gather dietary requirements early
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or PO20 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.

Highleigh: your questions answered
How far is Highleigh from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you roast near the sea around Highleigh?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can the food be served indoors?
Serving inside is typically fine with the venue’s agreement.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Plan a warm place for guests.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Roast potatoes
