Christmas hog roast in Reigate
How our Christmas hog roast works in Reigate
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We’re often asked to cater sports club Christmas do’s and christmas markets, serving roast turkey, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Christmas parties in Reigate are often at workplaces and clubs. We need a lit outdoor spot. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We set up while it’s still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Reigate, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
