How our Christmas hog roast works in Burpham
Festive events of all kinds around Burpham suit a hog roast. Popular choices include apple sauce, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for festive open evenings and christmas markets.
Around Burpham, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What affects the price in Burpham
There’s no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and time of the event
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode

Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Mix and match: turkey and pork together. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
