You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
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.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Christmas parties in Nash Street are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:50pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.

- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Planning help
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote: use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Vehicle access close by
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
