How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We work out each quote from:
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- An itemised quote

Lingfield: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Lingfield?
Lingfield has its own station: Lingfield station.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Sunset in Lingfield in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- 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
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
