Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. 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 turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In late May, sunset in Langrish is about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- Photos of the grounds help us choose a safe spot.
- The kitchen shares residents’ dietary needs with us.
- Residents can see and smell the roast from the morning.
- Lunch is carved and served, and we pack away quietly afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- A named contact on the day
- Approval from the home
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
