Christmas hog roast in Enton Green
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Christmas hog roast in Enton Green, slow-roasted on site
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. For club and society Christmas parties and december open days, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, crackling and roast potatoes.
In a small place like Enton Green, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- Travel to Enton Green
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
