Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
China crockery is available on request.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, hot carved pork on a plate is easier to manage for many residents. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
