About our party hog roast in Christmas Pie
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. We serve jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and leaving and retirement do’s.
In a small place like Christmas Pie, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What else we do in Christmas Pie
How we price a hog roast for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of people
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
