How our Christmas hog roast works in Totford
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. Whether it is sports club Christmas do’s and lights switch-on evenings, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, crackling and hog roast rolls.
For a Christmas party near Totford, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a restaurant booking, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

FAQs for Totford
Is Totford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Totford close to London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.

What about Christmas markets?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
How early should we book for Christmas?
December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Clearance from walls and tents
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
