Christmas hog roast for Redhill
Christmas hog roast in Redhill, slow-roasted on site
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. On the menu are hog roast rolls, roast turkey and roast potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and lights switch-on evenings.
For a festive get-together in Redhill, hot pork and turkey make a change from the usual. Keep the cooking spot close and well lit. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Redhill: your questions answered
Could you cook in Nutfield Marshes?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Redhill?
Redhill has its own station: Redhill station.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Plan a warm place for guests.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.

Christmas parties anywhere in RH1 and RH2 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster. From High Street, Station Road and Church Road or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
What affects the price in Redhill
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know

It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
