Planning help
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Your date and serving time
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Sign-off from management
- A spot that keeps access clear
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

We clear away quietly.
