Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Luton
From office parties to village Christmas fairs, we cater festive events around Luton. Typical bookings include new Year parties and year-end thank-yous, serving apple sauce, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
In Luton, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In Luton, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Send final numbers in good time
- Give us a contact number for the day

It makes a work party feel generous.
Our roaster has been booked for all sorts of events around Luton, including:
- End-of-year team celebrations
- Office Christmas parties
- Sports club Christmas do’s
- Winter open days
A winter fair at a school like Luton Infant & Nursery School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.

- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive

Christmas parties in Luton: local tips
Luton is about 1 mile north of Chatham, in Medway. We’re happy to travel to Luton for Christmas parties and the places nearby. Luton is one of 68 places in Medway we cover. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 24 miles away.
If people are coming by rail, Chatham station, about 1 mile north-west, is the nearest station. A Christmas fair at Saint Paul with All Saints or St Michael the Archangel Church is just the kind of event a hog roast suits.
We cover Christmas parties in every part of the ME4, ME5 and ME7 postcode area. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Mill Lane, Luton Road and Maida Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Neighbouring places where we cater Christmas parties include Hale (1 mile south-east), Chatham (1 mile south), Darland (1 mile south-east), Chatham Waterfront (1 mile north-west) and Capstone (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in Rainham (3 miles east), Strood (3 miles north-west), Park Wood (3 miles south-east), Hoo St Werburgh (4 miles north), Wigmore (3 miles east) and Peters Village (4 miles south-west). Luton is among the bigger towns we cover in Medway, with plenty of venues for Christmas parties.
A little further out are Pentagon Shopping Centre (1.1 miles north-west) and Six Poor Travellers House (2 miles north-west). Within reach you’ll find Ranscombe Farm and Blue Bell Hill.
- Schools near Luton include The Victory Academy (under half a mile south-west) and Hospital and Medical Tuition Service (0.7 miles north-east)

- Other local spots include Chatham Free Library (0.7 miles north) and City of Rochester-upon-Medway (2.3 miles north-west)
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count who does not eat pork
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
We set up while it’s still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Mix and match: turkey and pork together. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
