Christmas hog roast in Tutt Hill
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Tutt Hill
For a work Christmas party in Tutt Hill, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. Popular choices include roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas markets and festive family get-togethers.
In winter near Tutt Hill, we need firm ground and light. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each price is built from:
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A lit route to the food
- Parking near the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Roast turkey

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In December, it’s dark in Tutt Hill by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Think about shelter for your guests

Tutt Hill questions
Do you come out to small places like Tutt Hill?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Tutt Hill?
Charing station, about 2.1 miles north-west of the centre.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is turkey available?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
