About our Christmas hog roast in Willesden
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. We’re frequently asked to cater club and society Christmas parties and late-night shopping events, with roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
London Christmas parties in Willesden are often at offices, pubs with a courtyard or homes with a garden. Tell us about lighting and access. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At a winter fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved to order by a chef

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
The price comes down to:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: fill in our quote form.
Questions from Willesden
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Willesden?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Roundwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Send the allergen list round before the party
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
