Slow-roasted pork in Ockham
How our Christmas hog roast works in Ockham
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. We are frequently asked to cater office Christmas parties and end-of-term celebrations, with roast potatoes, apple sauce and roast turkey.
Near Ockham, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- Travel to Ockham
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.

Ockham questions
Can you do a hog roast in The Forest and the Highlands?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
How far is Ockham from London?
About 21 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Plan a warm place for guests.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do December dates go quickly?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
