Christmas hog roast for Murrell Green
About our Christmas hog roast in Murrell Green
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We will need light around the serving area. We serve roast turkey, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and family Christmas gatherings.
For a Christmas party near Murrell Green, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. 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.
What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Sides to make it a full meal

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
The price comes down to:
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or RG27 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In December, it is dark in Murrell Green by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
