About our Christmas hog roast in Great Linford
For a work Christmas party in Great Linford, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. For boxing Day and New Year gatherings and work Christmas parties, we can cook crackling, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken and more.
For a Christmas get-together near Great Linford, a hog roast in the garden goes down well on a dark December evening. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Roast turkey
Offer turkey and pork, and everyone’s happy, with roast potatoes on the side.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Vehicle access close by
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or MK14 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
