Planning an event in Hannington?
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Hannington
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We serve roast potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater new Year parties and festive open evenings.
Near Hannington, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
You can combine: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. In December, it’s dark in Hannington by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
