Catered or do it yourself?

Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Christmas hog roast in Hawley, slow-roasted on site
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Hawley suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. Typical bookings include club and society Christmas parties and winter open days, serving roast turkey, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
For a Christmas get-together near Hawley, a hog roast in the garden goes down well. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Roast turkey
At Christmas, add roast turkey alongside the hog, carved to order for a festive feel.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, use our quote form.
