Christmas hog roast in Hale Street, carved to order
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so ask early. We serve roast turkey, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for christmas fairs and society Christmas socials.
In a small place like Hale Street, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Hale Street
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.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
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:
- Indoor space for eating
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Light by the serving table
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

A winter fair at a school like East Peckham Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. Train travellers will want to know that the closest railway station is Yalding station, roughly 0.9 miles north-east of the centre.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot food wins in winter. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Our staff serve and clear
