How our Christmas hog roast works in Holybourne
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Holybourne suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, roast turkey and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for work Christmas parties and christmas fairs.
For a Christmas party near Holybourne, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
For event organisers in Holybourne
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

What else we do in Holybourne
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- Time on site
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or GU34 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
Common questions in Holybourne
Is Holybourne close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Holybourne too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is usually fine with the venue’s agreement.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Vehicle access close by
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

- We clear away whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
