Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
