About our Christmas hog roast in West Stoke
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, roast turkey and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for christmas markets and staff Christmas do’s.
In a small place like West Stoke, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site

The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A lunchtime Christmas party in West Stoke is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
