About our Christmas hog roast in Pachesham Park
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We will need light around the serving area. For sports club Christmas do’s and winter open days, we will put together a menu of crackling, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Pachesham Park, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Common questions in Pachesham Park

How far is Pachesham Park from London?
About 16 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?

How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By about 3:55pm in late December, Pachesham Park is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us a contact number for the day

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
Roast turkey can be added.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
