Christmas hog roast for Russ Hill
How our Christmas hog roast works in Russ Hill
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. Whether it’s family Christmas gatherings and late-night shopping events, we can cook rotisserie chicken, roast turkey and crackling.
In a small place like Russ Hill, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Vehicle access close by
- Clearance from walls and tents
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Russ Hill questions
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.
Is Russ Hill close to London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What happens if it is dark?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we’ll sort lighting together.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
