Christmas hog roast in Hook, slow-roasted on site
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Hook suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. Whether it is end-of-year team celebrations and staff Christmas do’s, we can cook roast turkey, roast potatoes and apple sauce and more.
In winter near Hook, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
For event organisers in Hook
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Label alternatives clearly
- Send the allergen list round before the party
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.

Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved to order.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. A lunchtime Christmas party in Hook is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
