Christmas hog roast for Steventon
Christmas hog roast in Steventon, carved to order
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, roast turkey and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for late-night shopping events and new Year parties.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A short route for our equipment
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. By about 3:55pm in late December, Steventon is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day
