What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or WD18 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
