How our Christmas hog roast works in Yorkletts
For a work Christmas party in Yorkletts, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. On the menu are apple sauce, hog roast rolls and crackling, and we are often booked for family Christmas gatherings and festive open evenings.
For a Christmas party near Yorkletts, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
What affects the price in Yorkletts
There’s no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Yorkletts questions
Is Yorkletts close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What about Christmas markets?
Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-December sunset in Yorkletts comes at about 3:50pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?

- Our staff serve and clear

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
