Christmas hog roast for Langley
How our Christmas hog roast works in Langley
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We’re often asked to cater society Christmas socials and new Year parties, serving roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
In Langley, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. A lunchtime Christmas party in Langley is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Book early for December.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Langley in December: what to know
Langley is about 2 miles east of Slough, in Slough. From village halls to gardens and fields, Christmas parties around Langley suit a hog roast. We cater 31 places in Slough, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 18 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like The Langley Academy Primary gets dark early, so hot food is popular. If a church like St Mary the Virgin Church is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening.
We cover Christmas parties in every part of SL3 and the streets around it. That could mean a Christmas party in a garden on Fox Road, New Road and Ives Road, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Planned to your running order
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Planning the cooking spot

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up while it’s still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
