How we price a hog roast day
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

- Away from emergency routes
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- Away from opening windows

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
For event organisers in Crowhurst
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your residents will smell it long before they see it. By late September, the light in Crowhurst goes at about 7:00pm, so autumn events are best at lunchtime.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
