How far is Hurst Green from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
When do you start roasting?
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.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Send us the details.

Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
About our Christmas hog roast in Hurst Green
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. We serve rotisserie chicken, roast turkey and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for christmas markets and end-of-year team celebrations.
In a small place like Hurst Green, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Sunset in Hurst Green 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.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
For event organisers in Hurst Green
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
