Christmas hog roast in Kettle Corner, carved to order
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. Popular choices include roast potatoes, roast turkey and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater new Year parties and winter open days.
In a small place like Kettle Corner, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
What affects the price in Kettle Corner
Here’s what affects the price:
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
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.
Kettle Corner questions
Could you cook in Quarry Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is Kettle Corner close to London?
About 30 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do December dates go quickly?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

A lunchtime Christmas party in Kettle Corner is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
