How our Christmas hog roast works in Norton Ash
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. Typical bookings include office Christmas parties and family Christmas gatherings, serving roast turkey, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
Near Norton Ash, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
