How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Westborough: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Broadstreet?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
We roast outdoors whatever the season. Plan a warm place for guests.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By about 3:55pm in late December, Westborough is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
