Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Allergies we should know about
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. A lunchtime Christmas party in Farthing Green is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day

- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
