Christmas hog roast in Holborough, slow-roasted on site
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. Popular choices include apple sauce, halloumi skewers and roast turkey, and typical bookings are for christmas family parties and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
At a festive party in Holborough, hot rolls from the roaster go down well. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

FAQs for Holborough
Is Holborough close to London?
About 26 miles from central London.
Could you cook in Holborough Marshes?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
