How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
There is no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Rough numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Puckaster questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Puckaster?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is lighting needed?
It gets dark early, so we’ll sort lighting together.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count who does not eat pork
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Indoor space for eating
- A short route for our equipment
For somewhere as remote as Puckaster, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
