Christmas hog roast for Shutford
How our Christmas hog roast works in Shutford
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Shutford, a hog roast draws a queue: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. Popular choices include crackling, apple sauce and roast turkey, and we’re regularly asked to cater late-night shopping events and office Christmas parties.
For a Christmas party near Shutford, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
