Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Wilsley Green
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. Whether it is year-end thank-yous and sports club Christmas do’s, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers and more.
For a Christmas party near Wilsley Green, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Wilsley Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Wilsley Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In December, it’s dark in Wilsley Green by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time
