- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

About our Christmas hog roast in Aldworth
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. Whether it’s year-end thank-yous and office Christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, hog roast rolls and roast turkey and more.
Near Aldworth, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. By about 3:55pm in late December, Aldworth is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
