What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
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 are paying for.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Rough numbers
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies

How our Christmas hog roast works in Ladywell

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Mix and match: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
Common questions in Ladywell
Can you do a hog roast in Ladywell Fields?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What if our house in Ladywell has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Christmas parties in Ladywell 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.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
