Christmas hog roast in Little Bookham
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Little Bookham
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. On the menu are hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and sports club Christmas do’s.
In Little Bookham, 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.

It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:

Common questions in Little Bookham
Which station is closest to Little Bookham?

Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What about Christmas markets?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
How do you work out quantities?

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Sunset in Little Bookham in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
