About our Christmas hog roast in Pyrford Village
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so ask early. For office Christmas parties and christmas lights switch-ons, we can cook roast turkey, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Pyrford Village, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Pyrford Village
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you do a hog roast in White Rose Lane?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Can the food be served indoors?
Serving inside is usually fine with the venue’s agreement.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In December, it’s dark in Pyrford Village by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
