Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Access to the cooking area
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the cooking area
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- A choice of salads and potatoes
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Someone to meet us
- Sign-off from management
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In late May, sunset in Chart Sutton is about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
