Christmas hog roast for Snaresbrook
The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In December, it’s dark in Snaresbrook by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Ask early for a December date.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Snaresbrook questions
Can you do a hog roast in Lloyd Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What if our house in Snaresbrook has no side access?
Frequently, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do December dates go quickly?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Why book with us

For event organisers in Snaresbrook
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
