Christmas hog roast for Lessness Heath
How our Christmas hog roast works in Lessness Heath
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Lessness Heath, a hog roast draws a queue: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. We serve rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for christmas fairs and new Year parties.
Around Lessness Heath, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Lessness Heath questions
Can you do a hog roast in Lesnes Abbey Woods?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Lessness Heath has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. With sunset at about 3:50pm in December, most Christmas parties in Lessness Heath are after dark. The cooking area is lit; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
