How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. By about 3:55pm in late December, Keymer is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Send final numbers in good time

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Keymer
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a winter barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Timed around your day
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
