About our Christmas hog roast in Lavendon
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Lavendon. Popular choices include apple sauce, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for festive open evenings and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers.
In a small place like Lavendon, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Questions from Lavendon
How far is Lavendon from London?
About 52 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Lavendon?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you need lighting?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, it is dark in Lavendon by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day
