Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Normandy
Christmas get-togethers can mean plenty of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. For new Year parties and end-of-term celebrations, we can cook rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Normandy, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
China crockery is available on request.

Planning a Christmas party in Normandy
Normandy is about 4 miles east of Aldershot, in Surrey. We cover Normandy and its neighbours for Christmas parties. We cater 395 places across Surrey.
If a church like Church of St Mark is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. A winter fair at a school like Wyke Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.
Anywhere in GU3, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Manor Farm Close, Guildford Road and Milton Close, and a Christmas party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to Christmas parties in Willey Green (1 mile east), Flexford (1 mile south), Christmas Pie (1 mile south), Wyke (1 mile west) and Wanborough (2 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (4 miles east), Woking (6 miles north-east), Camberley (6 miles north-west), Farnham (6 miles south-west), Egham (13 miles north-east) and Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Ash Museum (2.1 miles west) and Guildford Hospital (2.6 miles east). Open spaces near Normandy include Hog's Back and Ash Ranges.
- Local pubs include Duke of Normandy pub (0.5 miles east)
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A lit route to the food
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Clearance from walls and tents
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Normandy
What’s the nearest station to Normandy?
Wanborough station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Normandy?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
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.
Do you come to Normandy?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Normandy and the rest of Surrey included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
