Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

How it works

Late-December sunset in Red Post Bridge comes at about 4:00pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A short route for our equipment
- Indoor space for eating
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count who does not eat pork
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Roast turkey can be added.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: 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 is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A hog roast compared with other options
At a winter fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. 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.
