How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We work out each quote from:
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

These are the details we need:
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

Durford Wood questions
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Durford Wood?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cater in Durford Wood?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
