How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
The price comes down to:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
How our Christmas hog roast works in South Street
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We will need light around the serving area. We’re frequently asked to cater club and society Christmas parties and end-of-year team celebrations, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
In winter near South Street, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. A lunchtime Christmas party in South Street is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
