About our Christmas hog roast in Highmoor Cross
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. For boxing Day and New Year gatherings and winter open days, we’ll put together a menu of roast turkey, crackling and rotisserie chicken and more.
In a small place like Highmoor Cross, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Common questions in Highmoor Cross
How far is Highmoor Cross from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Highmoor Cross?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

The process

- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Send the allergen list round before the party
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
