How we price a hog roast day
Here’s what affects the price:
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Organising for someone else?

Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Away from emergency routes
- Clear of bedroom windows
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.

The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer hog roast day in Nyewood, 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.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
