Christmas hog roast in Petts Wood, slow-roasted on site
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We will need light around the serving area. We serve roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and roast turkey, and we are regularly asked to cater office Christmas parties and winter open days.
For Christmas parties in Petts Wood, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
A closer look at the menu
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.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Events we cater in Petts Wood
Turkey and pork together cover everyone.
However big or small the event in Petts Wood, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We’re frequently asked to cater:
