Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The venue or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Christmas parties in Laddingford 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 Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why choose a hog roast in Laddingford?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved to order by a chef
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Planned to your running order
