About our Christmas hog roast in Walliswood
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. Popular choices include apple sauce, roast turkey and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater new Year parties and year-end thank-yous.
For a Christmas party near Walliswood, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Walliswood
Is Walliswood too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Walliswood close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Is turkey available?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
The roaster stays outside under cover; guests can eat inside.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Hot food suits winter perfectly, as long as guests have shelter.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Train travellers will want to know that Ockley station, about 3.1 miles north-east, is the nearest station. Walliswood is within about 4 miles of the Surrey Hills National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen information in advance
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
For event organisers in Walliswood
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.

Planning help
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A lit route to the food
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
