FAQs for Alkerton
Is Alkerton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.

How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Sunset in Alkerton in late December is 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.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Alkerton
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
