A hog roast near Leatherhead
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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.
Christmas hog roast in Leatherhead, carved to order
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. We’re frequently asked to cater end-of-term celebrations and staff Christmas do’s, with roast turkey, roast potatoes and apple sauce.
In Leatherhead, a hog roast is a welcome change at Christmas. Plan lighting and a short route from the roaster to the party. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. A lunchtime Christmas party in Leatherhead is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.

Common questions in Leatherhead
What’s the nearest station to Leatherhead?
Leatherhead has its own station: Leatherhead station.
Can you do a hog roast in River Mole LNR?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Send us the details.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.

- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Parking near the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
