What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Here’s what affects the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Vehicle access close by
