Christmas hog roast for Little London
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Little London
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. For end-of-year team celebrations and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, we can cook halloumi skewers, crackling and roast turkey for your guests.
In a small place like Little London, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
