About the food

Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.

Turkey and pork together cover traditionalists and crackling fans alike.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
We set up while it’s still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Christmas parties in Knaphill are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:55pm in December. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
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
