Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in West Peckham
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. We’re frequently asked to cater between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and winter open days, with roast turkey, crackling and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like West Peckham, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

How far is West Peckham from London?
About 26 miles from central London.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Plan a warm place for guests.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
