What affects the price in Dorney
There’s no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Dorney
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Is Dorney too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.

Do you come to Dorney?

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen information in advance
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Late-December sunset in Dorney comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
