Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Woodlands
For a work Christmas party in Woodlands, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. Whether it’s late-night shopping events and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, we will put together a menu of roast turkey, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Near Woodlands, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
About the food
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved to order for a festive feel.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

It is a change from turkey and all the trimmings in a restaurant.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner

FAQs for Woodlands
Could you cook in Kemsing Down?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Woodlands from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.

What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Why choose a hog roast in Woodlands?
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Sunset in Woodlands in late December is 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.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
