Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Oxted
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so contact us as soon as you know your date. For festive open evenings and christmas family parties, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
At a festive party in Oxted, hot rolls from the roaster go down well on a dark December evening. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Oxted, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your guests

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Label alternatives clearly
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Parking near the cooking area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
