Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

About our Christmas hog roast in South Hampstead
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in South Hampstead, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it’s cold outside. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and typical bookings are for sports club Christmas do’s and christmas markets.
For Christmas parties in South Hampstead, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early, as December is busy on the roads. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
South Hampstead is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
