How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Plumstead questions
Can you do a hog roast in Plumstead Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Plumstead?
Plumstead station, in Plumstead itself.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
