Planning help
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
- Tell us who doesn’t eat pork
- Halal isn’t offered
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Distance from us

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or TN25 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
