Christmas hog roast for Pyrford
About our Christmas hog roast in Pyrford
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Pyrford. We are often asked to cater new Year parties and work Christmas parties, serving apple sauce, roast potatoes and crackling.
Around Pyrford, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
