In Windlesham, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Windlesham questions
What’s the nearest station to Windlesham?
The closest is Bagshot station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
How far is Windlesham from London?
About 26 miles from central London.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes: add turkey to the menu.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Windlesham, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
