Slow-roasted pork in Stanwell
How our Christmas hog roast works in Stanwell
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Stanwell. We’re often asked to cater office Christmas parties and family Christmas gatherings, serving halloumi skewers, crackling and hog roast rolls.
In Stanwell, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
A hog roast or other catering?
At a winter fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, it is dark in Stanwell by about 3:55pm, 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
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
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.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A picture of the cooking area
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
