How our Christmas hog roast works in Ford
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. We’re frequently asked to cater festive open evenings and staff Christmas do’s, with apple sauce, crackling and roast potatoes.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. 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.
Why Ford hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- All the equipment comes with us

Other occasions in Ford
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Ford questions
How far is Ford from London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Ford?
The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Cooking is always outdoors; serving can be indoors.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A lit route to the food
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers

- Send the allergen list round before the party
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Late-December sunset in Ford comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
