Christmas hog roast in Fernhurst
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A picture of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently 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.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, it is dark in Fernhurst by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
