A hog roast near New Pound
Christmas hog roast in New Pound, carved to order
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in New Pound. For lights switch-on evenings and year-end thank-yous, we can cook hog roast rolls, roast turkey and apple sauce and more.
Near New Pound, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
About the food
Roast turkey
Offer turkey and pork, and everyone’s happy, with roast potatoes on the side.
Stuffing and apple sauce

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:

- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area

Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
