Christmas hog roast for Wisley
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
About our Christmas hog roast in Wisley
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We’ll need light around the serving area. Typical bookings include festive family get-togethers and staff Christmas do’s, with crackling, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
For a Christmas party near Wisley, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a restaurant booking, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. 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.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- Planned to your running order
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Christmas parties in Wisley: local tips

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Wisley
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Wisley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes: add turkey to the menu.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How long does the roast need?
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
China crockery is available on request.
