Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot food wins in winter. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, please mention:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or BN1 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Prestonville are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
How to get a price
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Parking near the cooking area
- Light by the serving table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Roast potatoes
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
- Roast turkey
- Stuffing and apple sauce
