What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help

- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers

Looking after everyone

- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Late-December sunset in Hatch Warren comes at about 4:00pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
