What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Common questions in Leatherhead
Is Leatherhead close to London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in River Mole LNR?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
