What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Charlton
- How many people are eating
- Site access
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
Send us the date, the address or TW17 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count families and staff too
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Count residents who need an alternative
Your team helps residents as needed, while we serve.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
