Christmas hog roast in Lambourn, slow-roasted on site
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. Whether it is end-of-term celebrations and winter fairs and markets, we can cook crackling, halloumi skewers and apple sauce for your guests.
In Lambourn, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Questions from Lambourn
Is Lambourn close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can we have roast turkey?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Do you cover Lambourn?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Lambourn and West Berkshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What affects the price in Lambourn
The price comes down to:
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
