How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your menu choices
- Any venue rules
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We set up while it is still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Indoor space for eating
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
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.
What happens on the day
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. With sunset at about 4:00pm in December, most Christmas parties in Wintershill are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Book early for December.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.

Before we arrive
