Working with your venue
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.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A lit route to the food
- Vehicle access close by
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Mattingley
How far is Mattingley from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Mattingley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Label alternatives clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
We serve hot rolls on cue, carved fresh.
Roast turkey can be added.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Sunset in Mattingley in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- 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 clear away whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Gather dietary requirements early
