How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.

What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
About our Christmas hog roast in East Wellow
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. Whether it is office Christmas parties and festive family get-togethers, we can cook apple sauce, crackling and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like East Wellow, 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’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen information in advance
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A lit route to the food
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. With sunset at about 4:00pm in December, most Christmas parties in East Wellow are after dark. The cooking area is lit; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
