How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Kilnwood Vale are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Getting ready for the day

A closer look at the menu

Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Kilnwood Vale: your questions answered
Could you cook in Target Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Cooking is always outdoors; serving can be indoors.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is lighting needed?
It gets dark early, so we will sort lighting together.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Parking near the cooking area
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Roast turkey
- Roast potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Salads
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
The biggest factors are:
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
