What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- Distance from us
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any venue rules

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer hog roast day in Bellfields, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
