Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Here’s what affects the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Your menu choices
- A photo of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
