What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

Common questions in Stratfield Mortimer
Do you come out to small places like Stratfield Mortimer?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Stratfield Mortimer close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Cooking is always outdoors; guests can eat inside.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Send the allergen list round before the party
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. By about 4:00pm in late December, Stratfield Mortimer is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Think about shelter for your guests
