Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We’re often asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and christmas fairs, serving apple sauce, crackling and hog roast rolls.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Here’s what affects the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Best Beech Hill in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
