Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
- Dietary requirements
