Christmas hog roast in Abbots Worthy
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Your date and serving time
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.

About the food

It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Light by the serving table
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Why choose Christmas hog roast in Abbots Worthy?
Turkey and pork together cover everyone.
Our roaster has been booked for a wide mix of occasions near Abbots Worthy, including:
- Winter fairs and markets
- New Year parties
- Year-end thank-yous
- Society Christmas socials
A winter fair at a school like Kings Worthy Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.

How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. A lunchtime Christmas party in Abbots Worthy is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
