- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved at the serving station.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Label alternatives clearly
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
