Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Sandleheath
Do you come out to small places like Sandleheath?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Cooking is always outdoors; guests can eat inside.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, as well as the hog.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Can you cater in Sandleheath?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Sandleheath and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Indoor space for eating
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
