Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Hill Head
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and roast turkey, and typical bookings are for society Christmas socials and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers.
In a small place like Hill Head, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Hill Head hosts choose us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved to order by a chef
- No surprises: everything in writing

Hill Head questions
How far is Hill Head from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you need lighting?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we’ll sort lighting together.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Is turkey available?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
