How our Christmas hog roast works in Nine Elms
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Typical bookings include winter fairs and markets and sports club Christmas do’s, with apple sauce, roast turkey and hog roast rolls.
Around Nine Elms, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. In London, access needs planning. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
