How we price a hog roast day
Here’s what affects the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Site access

For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A spot that keeps access clear
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
