How we price a hog roast day
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is

- A photo of the cooking area
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Compared with a normal lunch from the kitchen, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What you get with us

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
For residents who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Common questions in Eastbury
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Eastbury too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can visitors eat too?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
