Questions from Preston
How far is Preston from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Grove Ferry Picnic Area?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Hot food suits winter perfectly, as long as guests have shelter.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is typically fine with the venue’s agreement.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. A lunchtime Christmas party in Preston is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
How to get a price
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: send us your details through our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
