Christmas hog roast in Ifieldwood
How our Christmas hog roast works in Ifieldwood
Festive events of all kinds around Ifieldwood suit a hog roast, from small teams to big crowds. Popular choices include crackling, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for winter fairs and markets and sports club Christmas do’s.
In a small place like Ifieldwood, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Ifieldwood
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Ifieldwood too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast, as long as guests have shelter.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Label alternatives clearly
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Roast turkey can be added.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
