How our Christmas hog roast works in Phoenix Green
Swap the set menu for a hog roast at your Christmas party in Phoenix Green: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. For work Christmas parties and christmas lights switch-ons, we can cook hog roast rolls, crackling and roast potatoes.
Near Phoenix Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Add dietary questions to the invite

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast, as long as guests have shelter.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.

- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Clearance from walls and tents
