What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- Travel to Lingfield Common
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
