Christmas hog roast in Barford, carved to order
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so contact us as soon as you know your date. For work Christmas parties and end-of-year team celebrations, we can cook hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and roast turkey and more.
For a Christmas party near Barford, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
We pack up whatever the weather.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.

What else we do in Barford
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Barford: your questions answered
Is Barford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come to Barford?
Yes, Barford is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Is lighting needed?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we’ll sort lighting together.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We work out each quote from:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
