Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Crumbles
Can you do a hog roast in Princes Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like Crumbles?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What about Christmas markets?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Late-December sunset in Crumbles comes at about 3:55pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
