Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Shellingford
Is Shellingford close to London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Shellingford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
When should we book our Christmas party?
December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We set up while it is still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a Christmas fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Why us?
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. With sunset at about 4:00pm in December, most Christmas parties in Shellingford are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.

- We carve and serve hot on cue.
