About our Christmas hog roast in Stanmore
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We will need light around the serving area. Typical bookings include club and society Christmas parties and christmas family parties, serving roast turkey, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
Around Stanmore, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
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.

What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
