Christmas hog roast in Whitfield, carved to order
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. We are frequently asked to cater christmas family parties and end-of-year team celebrations, serving apple sauce, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
In Whitfield, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A lunchtime Christmas party in Whitfield is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Is Whitfield close to London?
About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
When should we book our Christmas party?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
