What affects the price in Ossemsley
The price comes down to:
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, we take the cooking off your team. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Ossemsley hosts choose us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- Away from opening windows
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you serve at lunch?

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In Ossemsley, December daylight ends around 4:05pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
