About our Christmas hog roast in Cryers Hill
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 crackling, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for winter open days and lights switch-on evenings.
In a small place like Cryers Hill, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Here’s what affects the price:
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, please mention:
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-December sunset in Cryers Hill comes at about 3:55pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.

A hog roast compared with other options
At a winter fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
