Christmas hog roast for Lyne
About our Christmas hog roast in Lyne
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. For office Christmas parties and society Christmas socials, we can cook rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls and more.
In winter near Lyne, we need firm ground and light. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Why choose a hog roast in Lyne?
You can combine: turkey and pork together. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Lyne: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Riverside Walk?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Lyne?
Chertsey station, about 1.2 miles east of the centre.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Lyne in December: what to know
Lyne is about 3 miles south of Egham, in Surrey. We cover Lyne and its neighbours for Christmas parties. We bring hog roasts to 395 places in Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 10 miles away.
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Lyne and Longcross CofE Aided Primary School, suit a hog roast. A Christmas fair at Church of Holy Trinity is just the kind of event a hog roast suits.
For Christmas parties in KT16, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include Almners Road, Pantiles Close and Lyne Lane, and a Christmas party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Lyne, we also cover Chertsey (1 mile east), Trumps Green (2 miles west), Ottershaw (2 miles south), Stonehill (2 miles south-west) and Row Town (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (10 miles south), Woking (5 miles south), Camberley (9 miles south-west), Epsom (12 miles east), Ewell (12 miles east) and Egham (3 miles north).
A little further out are Spelthorne Museum (3.3 miles north) and St. Peter's Hospital (0.8 miles south-east). The countryside around Lyne includes St Ann's Hill and St Ann's Lake.
- Nearby schools include White Lodge Children's Centre (0.8 miles south-east) and Salesian School (0.9 miles south-east)
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Clearance from walls and tents
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Lyne
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In Lyne, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
