About our Christmas hog roast in Margery
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. On the menu are halloumi skewers, roast turkey and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for new Year parties and christmas family parties.
In a small place like Margery, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Christmas parties in Margery: local tips
Margery is about 2 miles north of Reigate, in Surrey. We’re happy to travel to Margery for Christmas parties and the places nearby. Margery is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we cater. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 16 miles away.
For anyone getting the train home after the party, Reigate station is about 1.4 miles away. A winter fair at a school like Kingswood Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Margery; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Anywhere in KT20, we can bring the roaster to you. Streets in the area include Manor Lane, Margery Lane and Mint Lane, and a Christmas party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Parking near the cooking area
- Light by the serving table
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Margery questions
Can you do a hog roast in Castle Grounds?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is Margery close to London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What happens if it is dark?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.

For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat

We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
