About our Christmas hog roast in Slough
Festive events of all kinds around Slough suit a hog roast. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas lights switch-ons and family Christmas gatherings, with roast potatoes, roast turkey and apple sauce.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- An itemised quote
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Things that change the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
