About our Christmas hog roast in Perry
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Perry suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and winter open days.
Near Perry, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count who does not eat pork
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Share the allergen information in advance
We pack up whatever the weather.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. By about 3:50pm in late December, Perry is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
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
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Your menu choices
- Your date and serving time
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Allergies we should know about
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Why choose a hog roast in Perry?
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
