What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers

- Any dietary needs or allergies
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works

- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- We send a quote.
- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
