About our Christmas hog roast in Underriver
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas family parties and lights switch-on evenings, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling.
In a small place like Underriver, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A short route for our equipment
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Roast potatoes
- Roast turkey
- Salads
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Could you cook in Knole Park?

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Site access
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Your menu choices
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?

For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
