About our Christmas hog roast in Puttenham
From office parties to village Christmas fairs, we cater festive events around Puttenham, from small teams to big crowds. We are often asked to cater christmas fairs and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, serving roast potatoes, roast turkey and halloumi skewers.
In winter near Puttenham, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Christmas parties in Puttenham: local tips
Puttenham is about 4 miles south-east of Aldershot, in Surrey. Puttenham is well within our area for Christmas parties and the places nearby. We cater 395 places across Surrey.

Puttenham is within about 8 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Puttenham are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your guests
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
