Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- A picture of the cooking area
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. In Godstone, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
