What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
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.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. By late September, the light in Crabtree goes at about 7:05pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Flat ground in the grounds
- A named contact on the day
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
