How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Russell Hill are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

- Indoor space for eating
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Parking near the cooking area
Russell Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Russell Hill
Can you do a hog roast in Duppas Hill?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Russell Hill?
Waddon station, about 1 mile north of the centre.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
You can combine: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
