About our Christmas hog roast in Walthamstow Village
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We will need light around the serving area. For end-of-term celebrations and office Christmas parties, we can cook apple sauce, hog roast rolls and roast turkey for your guests.
For Christmas parties in Walthamstow Village, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. In London, access needs planning. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
