Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Hare Hatch
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Hare Hatch, a hog roast draws a queue: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. On the menu are roast turkey, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for new Year parties and christmas family parties.
Near Hare Hatch, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast turkey
A carved roast turkey makes it feel like Christmas, with the pork and crackling too.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
Can you work around our timings?

What affects the price in Hare Hatch
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Hare Hatch
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
