How our Christmas hog roast works in Skinners Green
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. Typical bookings include festive open evenings and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, serving roast turkey, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Skinners Green, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Skinners Green: your questions answered
How far is Skinners Green from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Skinners Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can the food be served indoors?
Serving inside is usually fine with the venue’s agreement.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What happens if it is dark?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we’ll sort lighting together.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby

Planning for dietary needs

The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we will plan it with you.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
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.
