A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is frequently better value. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A short route for our equipment
- Light by the serving table
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Roast turkey can be added.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
