Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Aston Rowant
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Aston Rowant from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens if it’s dark?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we will sort lighting together.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is normally fine with the venue’s agreement.
A hog roast compared with other options
At a winter fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Timed around your day
- A choice of salads and potatoes
Take a look at our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Things that change the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
When you enquire, please mention:
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- A picture of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
