How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each price is built from:
- Travel to Yarnton
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How our Christmas hog roast works in Yarnton
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. For year-end thank-yous and december open days, we can cook hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and apple sauce and more.
For a Christmas party near Yarnton, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Roast turkey
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
