Christmas hog roast in Standlake
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Where the roaster can go in Standlake
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat

FAQs for Standlake
Is Standlake too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Standlake from London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.

We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
