Always outside, in a spot you approve.
Can visitors eat too?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
Can you serve at lunch?
Choose the time, and we will plan the roast around it.

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you clear up?

What a hog roast costs

- The number of people

What we need to know
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Count residents who need an alternative
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to staff cooking, we take the cooking off your team. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Served at the time you choose
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved by our chef in front of your residents
Take a look at our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.

- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
