Christmas hog roast in Wimbledon Chase, slow-roasted on site
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. There are options for people who don’t eat pork. We’re often asked to cater office Christmas parties and winter fairs and markets, with halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and apple sauce.
For Christmas parties in Wimbledon Chase, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early, as December is busy on the roads. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

What else we do in Wimbledon Chase
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In December, it is dark in Wimbledon Chase by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
