What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Roast turkey
At Christmas, add roast turkey alongside the hog, carved to order.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A lit route to the food
- Parking near the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Here’s what affects the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, please mention:
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Christmas parties in Seasalter are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:50pm in December. We bring lighting for the cooking area; the route to it may need lights too.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Let us know about tight access
- Think about shelter for your guests

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
