Christmas hog roast in Sandleford, slow-roasted on site
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. For lights switch-on evenings and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, roast turkey and crackling for your guests.
In winter near Sandleford, we need firm ground and light. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Questions from Sandleford
Do you come out to small places like Sandleford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Sandleford from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
When should we book our Christmas party?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
Do you come to Sandleford?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Sandleford and West Berkshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Serving and clearing done for you

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. A lunchtime Christmas party in Sandleford is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
