About our Christmas hog roast in Wilsley Pound
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Whether it is between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and staff Christmas do’s, we can cook apple sauce, roast turkey and crackling.
In winter near Wilsley Pound, we need firm ground and light. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Questions from Wilsley Pound
Which station is closest to Wilsley Pound?
The closest is Staplehurst station, roughly 4.4 miles away.
Could you cook in Crane Valley?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Serving inside is usually fine with the venue’s agreement.
Can we have roast turkey?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. A lunchtime Christmas party in Wilsley Pound is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Name a contact for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, the address or TN17 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.

What affects the price in Wilsley Pound
Your quote depends on:
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
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 to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
China crockery is available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
