Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
China crockery is available on request.
How our Christmas hog roast works in South Warnborough
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. We serve crackling, apple sauce and roast turkey, and typical bookings are for festive open evenings and end-of-term celebrations.
In winter near South Warnborough, we need firm ground and light. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in South Warnborough
Is South Warnborough close to London?
About 42 miles from central London.
Is South Warnborough too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Plan a warm place for guests.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Light by the serving table
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What affects the price in South Warnborough
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.

Catered or do it yourself?
