Christmas hog roast in Horne, slow-roasted on site
Festive events of all kinds around Horne suit a hog roast. On the menu are halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for festive open evenings and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers.
Near Horne, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Horne
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: use our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

Do you come out to small places like Horne?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.

We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
What else we do in Horne
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Label alternatives clearly
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
