Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Wonersh
From office parties to village Christmas fairs, we cater festive events around Wonersh. Whether it’s festive family get-togethers and festive open evenings, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes and more.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Common questions in Wonersh
How far is Wonersh from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Shalford Mill?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What about Christmas markets?
Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do you cover Wonersh?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Wonersh and the rest of Surrey included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information in advance
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Roast turkey can be added.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In December, it’s dark in Wonersh 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.
- Book early for December.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
