Take a look at our pricing or what a hog roast costs.
How we price a hog roast day
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the care home event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In High Cogges, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Name a contact for the day

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
For event organisers in High Cogges
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.

- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
