Christmas hog roast in Salehurst

How our Christmas hog roast works in Salehurst

Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. On the menu are halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater winter open days and society Christmas socials.

For a Christmas party near Salehurst, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What a hog roast costs

We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:

  • The number of people
  • The serving time and how long we’re on site
  • Menu choices and extras
  • Site access

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Details that help

When you get in touch, it helps to include:

  • Any venue rules
  • Rough numbers
  • The address or postcode
  • Allergies we should know about

When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.

Why choose a hog roast in Salehurst?

Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

What you get with us

  • Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
  • Timed around your day
  • Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

About the food

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.

How it works

We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your Christmas party. Christmas parties in Salehurst are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. The cooking area is lit; tell us about lighting on the way to it.

  1. Send us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We confirm the space and send a price.
  3. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
  4. Our chef carves and staff serve.
  5. We clear away whatever the weather.

Before we arrive

  • Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
  • Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
  • Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Getting a price

Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.

Planning help

Allergies and dietary needs

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:

  • Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
  • Request gluten-free rolls
  • Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.

Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.

Planners, venues and businesses

Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

Common questions in Salehurst

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?

How far is Salehurst from London?

About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Do you need lighting?

It gets dark early, so we will sort lighting together.

Do December dates go quickly?

December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.

Can you cater for vegetarians?

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

Hot food suits winter perfectly.
