Christmas hog roast in Pirbright, slow-roasted on site
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Whether it’s festive family get-togethers and club and society Christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and hog roast rolls for your guests.
In a small place like Pirbright, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A lit route to the food
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Pirbright: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Burner's Heath and Swallows Pond?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is Pirbright close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you cover Pirbright?
Yes, Pirbright is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Cooking is always outdoors; serving can be indoors.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Christmas parties in Pirbright 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.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
