About our Christmas hog roast in Locksgreen
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. We serve halloumi skewers, crackling and roast turkey, and typical bookings are for family Christmas gatherings and christmas markets.
For a Christmas party near Locksgreen, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Locksgreen hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Planned to your running order
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- An itemised quote

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
For event organisers in Locksgreen
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A photo of the cooking area
- The address or postcode
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
