The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. By about 3:50pm in late December, Sibertswold is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Sibertswold
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. Whether it is winter open days and work Christmas parties, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, roast turkey and crackling for your guests.
In a small place like Sibertswold, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Access to the cooking area
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
- Roughly how many people
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Questions from Sibertswold
Can you roast near the sea around Sibertswold?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Sibertswold too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Served at the time you choose
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
We set up while it is still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- A short route for our equipment
- A lit route to the food
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
