Christmas hog roast in The Brents, carved to order
Festive events of all kinds around The Brents suit a hog roast. We serve crackling, roast turkey and roast potatoes, and we are often booked for end-of-year team celebrations and late-night shopping events.

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Dietary requirements
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. A lunchtime Christmas party in The Brents is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
