A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Christmas hog roast in Hither Green, carved to order
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. For boxing Day and New Year gatherings and festive open evenings, we can cook apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and roast turkey and more.
Around Hither Green, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your Christmas party in Hither Green.

- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Hither Green questions
Could you cook in Manor House Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Hither Green has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
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.

- Light by the serving table
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A short route for our equipment
Hither Green is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Label alternatives clearly
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we will plan it with you.
