See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Send the allergen list round before the party
Give us a contact for the evening.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
