How our Christmas hog roast works in Highstreet
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We are often asked to cater end-of-term celebrations and winter open days, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and roast potatoes.
In winter near Highstreet, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
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.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
