How our Christmas hog roast works in Ludgershall
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. Whether it’s christmas fairs and festive open evenings, we can cook crackling, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls and more.
For a Christmas party near Ludgershall, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Label alternatives clearly
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we will plan it with you.
Roast turkey can be added.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- Your menu choices
- A photo of the cooking area
- Anything the venue has asked for
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
