About our Christmas hog roast in Ickenham
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Typical bookings include festive family get-togethers and society Christmas socials, with rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
For Christmas parties in Ickenham, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. In London, access needs planning. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

FAQs for Ickenham
What if our house in Ickenham has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Which station is closest to Ickenham?
The closest is West Ruislip station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you cover Ickenham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Ickenham and the rest of Greater London included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Ickenham, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label alternatives clearly
- Share the allergen information in advance
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Ickenham
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
