Christmas hog roast in Tadworth, carved to order

For a Christmas get-together near Tadworth, a hog roast in the garden goes down well. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. A lunchtime Christmas party in Tadworth is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Serving and clearing done for you

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Tadworth
Can you do a hog roast in Merland Rise Recreational Ground?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Tadworth close to London?
Roughly 15 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What happens if it’s dark?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.

Full catering or machine hire?

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
