Christmas hog roast in World's End

About our Christmas hog roast in World's End

It is dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. We are often asked to cater festive open evenings and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, with apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.

In World's End, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Let us know about lighting and the way in. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

What a hog roast costs

Things that change the price:

  • The journey to the venue
  • Crockery choices
  • Which meats and sides you choose
  • Numbers

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

What we need to know

When you get in touch, please mention:

  • Allergies we should know about
  • Any venue rules
  • Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
  • Where the event is

Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Why World's End hosts choose us

  • Choices for people who don’t eat pork
  • No surprises: everything in writing
  • Serving and clearing done for you
  • Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

World's End in December: what to know

World's End is about 2 miles south-east of Kensington, in Greater London. World's End and the surrounding area are covered for Christmas parties. World's End is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London we cover.

If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Ashburnham Community School, hot rolls go down well. Christmas fairs at a church such as St John's Church Centre can book a hog roast stall.

We cover Christmas parties in every part of SW10, SW6 and SW3 and the streets around it. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Ann Lane, Lots Road and Avalon Road, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Little Chelsea (1 mile north), Chelsea Harbour (1 mile south), Walham Green (1 mile south-west), Sands End (1 mile south) and South Kensington (1 mile north). We also serve nearby towns such as London (4 miles east), City of Westminster (3 miles north-east), Marylebone (3 miles north-east), St Pancras (4 miles north-east), Shoreditch (5 miles north-east) and Walthamstow (10 miles north-east).

Well-known places in the area include Baynard's Castle (4 miles north-east) and Westminster St Margaret and St John (2.4 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Battersea Park Lake and Campden Hill.

  • Nearby schools include English National Ballet School (within half a mile west) and Chelsea Academy (less than half a mile south-west)

Organising for someone else?

Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Step by step

Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In December, it is dark in World's End by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

  1. Tell us when and where the party is.
  2. We confirm the space and send a price.
  3. The roast starts in the afternoon.
  4. We carve and serve hot on cue.
  5. We clear away whatever the weather.

Getting ready for the day

  • Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
  • Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
  • Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

DIY versus a catered hog roast

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Where the roaster can go in World's End

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:

  • A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
  • Clearance from walls and tents
  • A short route for our equipment

As a London location, World's End is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from World's End

Which station is closest to World's End?

The closest is Imperial Wharf station, roughly 0.5 miles away.

What if our house in World's End has no side access?

Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

When should we book our Christmas party?

The earlier the better. Weekdays frequently have more availability.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.

What if it rains?

The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

When do you start roasting?

Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.

Is mains power needed?

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

How much room do you need?

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
