About our Christmas hog roast in Monkhams
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes on the side. There are options for people who do not eat pork. Popular choices include apple sauce, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater year-end thank-yous and festive open evenings.
In Monkhams, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. With sunset at about 3:50pm in December, most Christmas parties in Monkhams are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.

Monkhams questions
What if our house in Monkhams has no side access?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in The Highams Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
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.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can the food be served indoors?
Cooking is always outdoors; guests can eat inside.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Train travellers will want to know that the nearest station is Highams Park station, about 1.2 miles south-west. A winter fair at a school like Wells Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
Monkhams 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.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
