- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Rotherfield hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Our staff serve and clear
