How our Christmas hog roast works in Leeds
From office parties to village Christmas fairs, we cater festive events around Leeds. Whether it’s end-of-year team celebrations and festive open evenings, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers and more.
In winter near Leeds, we need firm ground and light. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
We set up while it is still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Common questions in Leeds
Is Leeds close to London?
About 35 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Leeds?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.

Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.

Hot food suits winter perfectly.

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a winter barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Leeds hosts choose us
- Served at the time you choose
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Indoor space for eating
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
