Christmas hog roast in Whitehill
How our Christmas hog roast works in Whitehill
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. Whether it’s december open days and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, we will put together a menu of roast turkey, apple sauce and crackling and more.
In winter near Whitehill, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Working with your venue

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Whitehill
How far is Whitehill from London?
About 44 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Whitehill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too.
