Christmas hog roast for Knightwood
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Knightwood
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Knightwood. We serve hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for new Year parties and late-night shopping events.
Around Knightwood, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
