Christmas hog roast in Cuxton, carved to order
Festive events of all kinds around Cuxton suit a hog roast. Typical bookings include sports club Christmas do’s and festive open evenings, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
For a Christmas party near Cuxton, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A lit route to the food
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Indoor space for eating

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel to Cuxton
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, 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
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
- A picture of the cooking area
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. By about 3:50pm in late December, Cuxton is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
