What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Time on site
- The number of people
- Travel to Bentworth
- Whether you want china
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Sign-off from management
- Clear of bedroom windows
- Away from emergency routes

- Request thin slices
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Halal isn’t offered
Give us a contact, such as the activities lead.
Ask about china.

Your questions about a hog roast day in Bentworth
Is Bentworth close to London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Bentworth too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can relatives eat with residents?
It works well as a day with families.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Where do you cook at a care home?
Always outside, in a spot you approve.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. By late September, the light in Bentworth goes at about 7:10pm, so we suggest a lunchtime serving in autumn.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
