Why choose a hog roast in Billingbear?

Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Served at the time you choose

What affects the price in Billingbear
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- The date and time of the event
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- A photo of the cooking area
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
