DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We work out each quote from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: use our quote form.
