Christmas hog roast for Worplesdon
Christmas hog roast in Worplesdon, carved to order
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Worplesdon. We serve apple sauce, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and family Christmas gatherings.
For a Christmas party near Worplesdon, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Christmas parties in Worplesdon are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Book early for December.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.

Questions from Worplesdon
Is Worplesdon close to London?
About 27 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How early should we book for Christmas?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
We cook outside, but can generally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

We don’t use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Worplesdon
- The date and time of year
