Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Oakgrove
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Oakgrove. Popular choices include apple sauce, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater winter fairs and markets and society Christmas socials.
Around Oakgrove, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Add dietary questions to the invite
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
China crockery is available on request.

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Oakgrove
Can you do a hog roast in Campbell Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
How far is Oakgrove from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Sunset in Oakgrove in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
