Planning help
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

How we price a hog roast day
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- Plates or china
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
