How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Fisher's Pond
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
To get a quote, just 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. Use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A short route for our equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
