Christmas hog roast in Wallington
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
About our Christmas hog roast in Wallington
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We’re frequently asked to cater society Christmas socials and christmas family parties, serving roast turkey, halloumi skewers and crackling.
In Wallington, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
