Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Time on site
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

For event organisers in De Beauvoir Town
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Late May in De Beauvoir Town has light until about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- We start with the date and numbers.

- We clear away quietly.
Preparing for the day
