Christmas hog roast in Stroude
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A lunchtime Christmas party in Stroude is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Stroude
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. We roast outdoors under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Stroude. For sports club Christmas do’s and year-end thank-yous, we can cook roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
In winter near Stroude, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A short route for our equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Questions from Stroude
What’s the nearest station to Stroude?
Virginia Water station, about 0.7 miles south of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Riverside Walk?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cater in Stroude?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Count who does not eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label alternatives clearly
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Your menu choices
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A hog roast or other catering?
Mix and match: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
