What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Travel to Forest Hill
- Plates or china
A hog roast is often 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.

- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like

- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
How to prepare

Questions from Forest Hill
Is Forest Hill too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Shotover Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What about residents who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you cover Forest Hill?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can relatives eat with residents?
Many homes make it a family day.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
