Christmas hog roast in Clap Hill, carved to order
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Clap Hill, a hog roast draws a queue: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. Typical bookings include christmas fairs and work Christmas parties, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
In winter near Clap Hill, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
What affects the price in Clap Hill
The price comes down to:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- Site access
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Your menu choices
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: fill in our quote form.

Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. By about 3:50pm in late December, Clap Hill is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Crackling
