Christmas hog roast in Shabbington
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Shabbington
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. Typical bookings include lights switch-on evenings and club and society Christmas parties, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Near Shabbington, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- Travel to Shabbington
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
FAQs for Shabbington
Which station is closest to Shabbington?
Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 4.1 miles east of the centre.
Is Shabbington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do December dates go quickly?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
The roaster stays outside under cover; serving can be indoors.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. A lunchtime Christmas party in Shabbington is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
