The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Light by the serving table
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

- Label alternatives clearly
- Send the allergen list round before the party
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a winter barbecue, a hog roast copes much better with the cold. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-December sunset in South Ascot comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
