Christmas hog roast in Sutton, slow-roasted on site

Christmas get-togethers can mean plenty of people, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Whether it is winter open days and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, we can cook halloumi skewers, roast turkey and roast potatoes and more.

For a Christmas party near Sutton, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Sutton questions

Do you come out to small places like Sutton?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

What’s the nearest station to Sutton?

The closest is Amberley station, roughly 3.7 miles away.

How big a hog will we need?

Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

Do you come to Sutton?

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

Do you leave the area tidy?

Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.

Do December dates go quickly?

The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.

Can you cater for vegetarians?

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.

What do people get?

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party

The biggest factors are:

  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
  • Whether you want china
  • The serving time and how long we are on site
  • Travel to Sutton

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

What to tell us

To get the best quote, send us:

  • The address or postcode
  • Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
  • Which meats and sides you’d like
  • An estimate of numbers

It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

What comes off the roaster

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.

Roast turkey

At Christmas, add roast turkey alongside the hog, carved at the serving station for a festive feel.

Should I cook it myself?

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Looking after everyone

Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:

  • Share the allergen information in advance
  • Label alternatives clearly
  • Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
  • Request gluten-free rolls

We pack up whatever the weather.

Roast turkey can be added.

How it works

We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Late-December sunset in Sutton comes at about 4:00pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.

  1. You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
  3. On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
  4. Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
  5. We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.

Getting ready for the day

  • Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
  • Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
  • Choose someone to meet us on arrival

A hog roast or other catering?

Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Why book with us

  • All the equipment comes with us
  • Our staff serve and clear
  • Timed around your day
  • Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

See our pricing and the cost guide.

  • Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
  • Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
  • Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
