Christmas hog roast in Swerford, slow-roasted on site
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We’ll need light around the serving area. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for boxing Day and New Year gatherings and end-of-term celebrations.
For a Christmas party near Swerford, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
Name someone to meet us, especially for an office party.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Numbers
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
- A photo of the cooking area
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: fill in our quote form.

Questions from Swerford
Is Swerford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Swerford close to London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you need lighting?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
Do you come to Swerford?
Yes, Swerford is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
