When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Christmas hog roast in Buckland, slow-roasted on site
For a work Christmas party in Buckland, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. We are frequently asked to cater festive open evenings and lights switch-on evenings, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
For a Christmas party near Buckland, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Questions from Buckland
Do you come out to small places like Buckland?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Buckland from London?
About 62 miles from central London.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
What happens if it’s dark?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
