For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

How we price a hog roast day
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
- Your menu choices
- Where the event is
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or HP18 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Halal isn’t offered
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Your team helps residents as needed.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
