Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Middle Assendon
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We’ll need light around the serving area. Whether it is lights switch-on evenings and festive open evenings, we can cook hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Middle Assendon, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Why choose a hog roast in Middle Assendon?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Do you cover Middle Assendon?

When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can the food be served indoors?
Cooking is always outdoors; guests can eat inside.

- Firm ground rather than soft lawn

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
What affects the price in Middle Assendon
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Middle Assendon
- How long the roast and service take
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. A lunchtime Christmas party in Middle Assendon is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
