Christmas hog roast in Sheerwater, slow-roasted on site
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes on the side. There are options for people who don’t eat pork. We are frequently asked to cater festive open evenings and christmas fairs, serving roast turkey, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
Near Sheerwater, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. A lunchtime Christmas party in Sheerwater is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
