What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Your questions about a hog roast in City of London
Will people get crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
