Why choose a hog roast in Bow?
For a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Served at the time you choose
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Bow: your questions answered
Is Bow too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Bow close to London?
About 61 miles from central London.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Is turkey available?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.
Do December dates go quickly?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
We serve hot rolls on cue, carved fresh.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Occasions we serve in Bow
Hot food on a cold night is always welcome.
Whatever the occasion in Bow, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. Bookings frequently include:
- Winter open days
- Festive family get-togethers
- Christmas lights switch-ons
- End-of-year team celebrations
A winter fair at a school like Stanford in the Vale Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.
What to look for in a quote
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- Whether travel is included
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- Who carves and who serves
Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Sunset in Bow in late December is about 4:00pm, 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 clear away whatever the weather.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Let us know about tight access
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
How to get a price
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SN7 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Indoor space for eating
- Parking near the cooking area
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We work out each quote from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any venue rules
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
