Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
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.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Christmas parties in Bullingstone are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
