Christmas hog roast for Chilton
Why choose a hog roast in Chilton?
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Christmas hog roast in Chilton, slow-roasted on site
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. Typical bookings include sports club Christmas do’s and winter fairs and markets, with halloumi skewers, apple sauce and roast potatoes.
In Chilton, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
