Christmas hog roast in Horsell, slow-roasted on site
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Typical bookings include lights switch-on evenings and year-end thank-yous, serving hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and roast turkey.
At a festive party in Horsell, a hog roast in the garden goes down well. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Clearance from walls and tents
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What affects the price in Horsell
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Horsell: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Horsell?
Woking station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
Could you cook in Milford Green and Coxhill Green?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How early should we book for Christmas?
December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
For a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Step by step

Sunset in Horsell in late December is 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.
