How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
- The address or postcode
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: send us your details through our quote form.

What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In December, it is dark in Peel Common 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.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Send final numbers in good time
- Let us know about tight access
