- Distance from us
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote: use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Label alternatives clearly
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
