About our Christmas hog roast in Longstock
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. On the menu are apple sauce, hog roast rolls and roast turkey, and typical bookings are for winter fairs and markets and work Christmas parties.
In winter near Longstock, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.

Questions from Longstock
Do you come out to small places like Longstock?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Longstock Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What happens if it is dark?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
When should we book our Christmas party?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays frequently have more availability.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book our hog roast in Longstock
- All the equipment comes with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Fresh carving at the serving station
See our pricing and the cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
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.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
