How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. By about 3:55pm in late December, West Byfleet is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.

Questions from West Byfleet
Is West Byfleet close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast in Manor Farm?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
How early should we book for Christmas?
December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Roast turkey can be added.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
