About our Christmas hog roast in Simpson
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. Typical bookings include end-of-year team celebrations and christmas fairs, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and halloumi skewers.
In winter near Simpson, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
There is no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Rough numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. 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.
What you get with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

FAQs for Simpson
Do you come out to small places like Simpson?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Simpson from London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Weekdays often have more availability.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What about Christmas markets?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Roast turkey can be added.

- We check your venue and send a quote.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re 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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
For event organisers in Simpson
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
