How our Christmas hog roast works in St Giles
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in St Giles suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it is cold outside. We serve halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater work Christmas parties and club and society Christmas parties.
Around St Giles, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. Plan access early, as December is busy on the roads. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Common questions in St Giles
Can you do a hog roast in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to St Giles?
St Giles has its own station: Tottenham Court Road station.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. By about 3:55pm in late December, St Giles is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
You can combine: turkey and pork together. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
