What comes off the roaster

Rotisserie chicken

Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.

For planners, venues and organisers

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

Castle Town questions

Do you come out to small places like Castle Town?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

What about windy coastal sites?

Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.

Can you trade at our Christmas fair?

Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.

Do December dates go quickly?

As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.

Do you need power or water?

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.

How far ahead should we book?

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.

Do guests have to eat outside?

The roaster stays outside under cover; guests can eat inside.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party

We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:

  • The journey to the venue
  • Menu choices and extras
  • The number of people
  • Crockery choices

The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What we need to know

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:

  • The date and time of the event
  • Your menu choices
  • Rough numbers
  • Allergies we should know about

We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: send us your details through our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:

  • Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
  • Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
  • Share the allergen information in advance
  • Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken

At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.

Festive lights around the serving area look great.

Who books Christmas hog roast in Castle Town?

It is a change from turkey and all the trimmings in a restaurant.

However big or small the event in Castle Town, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. Bookings frequently include:

  • Christmas family parties
  • Winter open days
  • Sports club Christmas do’s
  • Christmas fairs

Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St Botolph's Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards.

Should I cook it myself?

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
