How we price a hog roast day
There’s no fixed price list, because every care home event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer hog roast day in Lidsey, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
