Christmas hog roast for West Horsley
About our Christmas hog roast in West Horsley
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in West Horsley, a hog roast draws a queue: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. We serve halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for late-night shopping events and winter fairs and markets.
For a Christmas get-together near West Horsley, a hog roast in the garden goes down well on a dark December evening. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
West Horsley questions
Can you do a hog roast in The Forest and the Highlands?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is West Horsley close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Light by the serving table
- Clearance from walls and tents
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
