About 43 miles from central London.
Do you cover Hollingrove?

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How do we prepare?

The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

For a work Christmas party in Hollingrove, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. We’re frequently asked to cater office Christmas parties and society Christmas socials, serving apple sauce, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
In winter near Hollingrove, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

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 you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In December, it is dark in Hollingrove by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
