About our Christmas hog roast in Chalgrove
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so get in touch as soon as you know your date. Typical bookings include new Year parties and family Christmas gatherings, with roast potatoes, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
In Chalgrove, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

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.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

A hog roast or other catering?
You can combine: turkey and pork together. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

See how we price or the cost guide.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The number of people
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
