What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level outdoor area
- Seating for residents
