How our Christmas hog roast works in Hook

For a work Christmas party in Hook, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. Typical bookings include late-night shopping events and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, serving apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.

London Christmas parties in Hook are frequently at offices, pubs with a courtyard or homes with a garden. Let us know about lighting and the way in. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Looking after everyone

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:

  • Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
  • Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
  • Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
  • Share the allergen information in advance

At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.

Ask about gluten-free rolls.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party

Things that change the price:

  • Plates or china
  • How easy it is to reach the spot
  • Travel to Hook
  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken

Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

What we need to know

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:

  • The date and time of the event
  • Rough numbers
  • Any dietary needs or allergies
  • Any venue rules

Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Christmas parties in Hook: local tips

Hook is about 2 miles north-west of Ewell, in Greater London. Our roaster is a regular sight at Christmas parties around Hook. We cater all 764 towns and villages in Greater London. We cater events right across the region, from Hook to London (13 miles away).

A winter fair at a school like St Paul's CofE Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. Hook is on or near the A243, so we can reach it easily in winter. Hook is within about 8 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

For Christmas parties in KT9, KT6 and KT10, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Whether your Christmas party is on Elm Road, Moor Lane and Glen Road or a nearby road, we’ll bring the roaster to you. Being close to the A243, Hook is easy for us to reach. Nearby, we also cater Christmas parties in Ditton Hill (1 mile north), Barwell (1 mile south-west), Long Ditton (1 mile north), Hinchley Wood (1 mile north-west) and Claygate (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include London (13 miles north-east), City of Westminster (12 miles north-east), Marylebone (12 miles north-east), Kensington (10 miles north-east), St Pancras (14 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (15 miles north-east).

Other landmarks nearby include Chessington Castle Hill (1 mile south-east) and Municipal Borough of Surbiton (0.6 miles north-east). Within reach you will find Kingston Hill Road area and The Lake.

  • Nearby schools include Southborough High School (0.6 miles north) and Shrewsbury House School (0.9 miles north)

About the food

Roast pork

Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

Rotisserie chicken

Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.

Common questions in Hook

Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Hook?

It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Do we need to provide electricity?

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.

What about guests who do not eat pork?

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.

Do you clear up?

Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.

How long does a hog roast take to cook?

A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Can you serve inside our office or hall?

The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.

Is crockery included?

Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.

What the cooking area needs

A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:

  • Vehicle access close by
  • Clearance from walls and tents
  • A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby

As a London location, Hook is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How the day works

It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Late-December sunset in Hook comes at about 3:55pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.

  1. It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
  2. We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
  3. We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
  4. Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
  5. We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.

How to prepare

  • Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
  • Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
  • Give us a contact number for the day

How to get a price

We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or KT9 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
