What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved to order by a chef
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
