Christmas hog roast in Privett, slow-roasted on site
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. Whether it’s winter open days and society Christmas socials, we can cook roast potatoes, crackling and roast turkey for your guests.
Near Privett, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Things that change the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- A picture of the cooking area
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:

We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
