What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:

- How easy it is to reach the spot
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: send us your details through our quote form.
Christmas hog roast in Coscote, carved to order
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Coscote suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it is cold outside. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and new Year parties.
For a Christmas party near Coscote, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Coscote are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Coscote is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Coscote to Oxford (about 11 miles away).

For anyone getting the train home after the party, the nearest station is Didcot Parkway station, about 1.5 miles north.

Questions from Coscote
Is Coscote close to London?
About 50 miles from central London.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Plan a warm place for guests.
Is turkey available?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do December dates go quickly?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
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.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
