How our Christmas hog roast works in Oxshott
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Oxshott suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. We’re often asked to cater between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and staff Christmas do’s, with hog roast rolls, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
For a Christmas get-together near Oxshott, a hog roast in the garden goes down well. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Christmas parties in Oxshott are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
Ask for a quote

Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
