How our Christmas hog roast works in Loxford
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Loxford suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it is cold outside. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas family parties and new Year parties, serving halloumi skewers, roast turkey and crackling.
For Christmas parties in Loxford, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early, as December is busy on the roads. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

What comes off the roaster
Roast turkey
At Christmas, add roast turkey alongside the hog, carved to order for a festive feel.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Send the allergen list round before the party
We pack up whatever the weather.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Loxford questions
What’s the nearest station to Loxford?
The closest is Barking station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Loxford Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you come to Loxford?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
When should we book our Christmas party?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Loxford, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
