Christmas hog roast in Sunbury-on-Thames, slow-roasted on site
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes and salads. There are options for people who do not eat pork. On the menu are apple sauce, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater boxing Day and New Year gatherings and winter open days.
Christmas parties in Sunbury-on-Thames are frequently at workplaces and clubs. We need a lit outdoor spot. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- Site access
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Label alternatives clearly
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
