Christmas hog roast for Sydenham
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Sydenham
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. We serve halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and we’re frequently booked for festive family get-togethers and end-of-year team celebrations.
In winter near Sydenham, we need firm ground and light. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Common questions in Sydenham
How far is Sydenham from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Sydenham?
The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 4.3 miles away.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What about Christmas markets?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

The process

- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
