Should I cook it myself?
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.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Albourne
- The number of people
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Albourne are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Name a contact for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
