Working with your venue

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Christmas hog roast in Wallend, carved to order
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Wallend, a hog roast draws a queue: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. We’re often asked to cater winter open days and sports club Christmas do’s, with apple sauce, crackling and roast turkey.
London Christmas parties in Wallend are often at offices, pubs with a courtyard or homes with a garden. Let us know about lighting and the way in. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving.

Questions from Wallend
Could you cook in Loxford Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Wallend has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
When should we book our Christmas party?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays often have more availability.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do guests have to eat outside?
We cook outside, but can usually serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
About the food
Roast turkey
Turkey and pork together cover traditionalists and crackling fans alike.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count who does not eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A lit route to the food
Wallend is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What else we do in Wallend
Should I cook it myself?

- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
