What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Light by the serving table
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
For event organisers in Watermead
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Sunset in Watermead in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
