Slow-roasted pork in Marylebone

Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Marylebone

Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Marylebone suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it is cold outside. We are frequently asked to cater work Christmas parties and winter fairs and markets, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.

Around Marylebone, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. Plan access early, as December is busy on the roads. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Before you choose a spot

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:

  • A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
  • Vehicle access close by
  • Space away from buildings, marquees and trees

Marylebone is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Popular choices

  • Roast potatoes
  • Crackling
  • Halloumi skewers (V)
  • Rotisserie chicken
  • Vegan option (Ve)
  • Hog roast rolls
  • Stuffing and apple sauce
  • Roast turkey

Planning for dietary needs

Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:

  • Add dietary questions to the invite
  • Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
  • Remember stuffing normally contains gluten

Name someone to meet us.

Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Common questions in Marylebone

What’s the nearest station to Marylebone?

Bond Street station, in Marylebone itself.

Could you cook in St Anne's Churchyard?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Who serves?

No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

How long does a hog roast take to cook?

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

How far ahead should we book?

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.

Do you need power or water?

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.

Is there a non-pork option?

There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.

Does the roaster have to be outside?

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

What a hog roast costs

Your quote depends on:

  • Crockery choices
  • Site access
  • Season and day of the week
  • Numbers

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

What we need to know

When you enquire, please mention:

  • Dietary requirements
  • Rough numbers
  • Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
  • The address or postcode

Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

How the day works

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Christmas parties in Marylebone are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.

  1. Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
  2. You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
  3. On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
  4. We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
  5. We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.

Before we arrive

  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
  • Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
  • Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

How to get a price

For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or W1U postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.

A hog roast or other catering?

Compared with a barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Why Marylebone hosts choose us

  • Served at the time you choose
  • Fresh carving at the serving station
  • Our staff serve and clear
  • Sides to make it a full meal

Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
