Christmas hog roast in Coldharbour
About our Christmas hog roast in Coldharbour
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. We serve hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and crackling, and typical bookings are for end-of-term celebrations and new Year parties.
For Christmas parties in Coldharbour, the roaster needs a lit, covered spot outdoors, such as a yard, courtyard or garden. Plan access early, as December is busy on the roads. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating

- Which meats and sides you choose

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
