How our Christmas hog roast works in Perham Down
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Typical bookings include december open days and end-of-year team celebrations, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and apple sauce.
For a Christmas party near Perham Down, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Menu choices and extras
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your menu choices
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
Every Christmas party is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Label alternatives clearly
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Send the allergen list round before the party
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Perham Down, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
